Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-03-25 13:31:36 UTC 
CVE-2013-7281 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-7281):

The dgram_recvmsg function in net/ieee802154/dgram.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 stack memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) 
recvmsg system call.
