CVE-2013-7265 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-7265):
  The pn_recvmsg function in net/phonet/datagram.c in the Linux kernel before
  3.12.4 updates a certain length value before ensuring that an associated
  data structure has 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.
