CVE-2013-3237

Publication date 22 April 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The vsock_stream_sendmsg function in net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9-rc7 does not initialize a certain length variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call.
