CVE-2013-7271
Last modified
CVE-2013-7271 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The x25_recvmsg function in net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length value without ensuring that an associated data structure has been initialized, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
