CVE-2013-6381 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in the qeth_snmp_command function in drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an SNMP ioctl call with a length value that is incompatible with the command-buffer size.. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
