CVE-2013-2548
Last modified
CVE-2013-2548 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The crypto_report_one function in crypto/crypto_user.c in the report API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux kernel through 3.8.2 uses an incorrect length value during a copy operation, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
