Last modified

CVE-2012-4467 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The (1) do_siocgstamp and (2) do_siocgstampns functions in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.4 use an incorrect argument order, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted ioctl call.. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
