Last modified
CVE-2013-2546 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The report API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux kernel through 3.8.2 uses an incorrect C library function for copying strings, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
