CUDA drivers/Linux security hole

[gran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello,

We have recently found serious security breach in CUDA Linux drivers:

In brief, driver maps pinned memory to user space but does not initialize it to 
zero. As an example, our simplest "proof of concept" program was able to read 
large fragments of files being written or read by other users.  

Kind regards,
