CVE-2017-13695 is a local information disclosure vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel (through version 4.12.9). It stems from a flaw in the acpi_ns_evaluate() function, which fails to flush the operand cache, leading to a kernel stack dump. This allows local users to extract sensitive kernel memory information, potentially bypassing Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) in older kernel versions (through 4.9). Rated Medium severity (CVSS 5.5), the attack requires local access and has a high impact on confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
