Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-12-12 20:18:30 UTC 
CVE-2013-6763 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6763):
  The uio_mmap_physical function in drivers/uio/uio.c in the Linux kernel
  before 3.12 does not validate the size of a memory block, which allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain
  privileges via crafted mmap operations, a different vulnerability than
  CVE-2013-4511.
