CVE-2013-7263 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-7263):
  The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates certain length values before ensuring
  that associated data structures have been initialized, which allows local
  users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1)
  recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call, related to
  net/ipv4/ping.c, net/ipv4/raw.c, net/ipv4/udp.c, net/ipv6/raw.c, and
  net/ipv6/udp.c.
