UnknownEPSS 0.40%

Last modified

CVE-2013-0290 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The __skb_recv_datagram function in net/core/datagram.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8 does not properly handle the MSG_PEEK flag with zero-length data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and system hang) via a crafted application.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
