The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contains a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions. See http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg82737.html for a patch.
