Bugtraq id: 64744
CVE (CAN) ID: CVE-2013-7270

Linux Kernel is the Kernel of the Linux operating system.

In versions earlier than Linux kernel 3.12.4, the function packet_recvmsg in net/packet/af_packet.c does not ensure that some length values are updated if related data results are initialized. This allows local users to use recvfrom, the recvmmsg and recvmsg systems call to obtain sensitive information about the kernel memory.
