Last modified
CVE-2013-3233 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The llcp_sock_recvmsg function in net/nfc/llcp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable and a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
