Will be applied in 3.10.7-r1 and newer version bumps. CVE-2013-4300 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4300): The scm_check_creds function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11 performs a capability check in an incorrect namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges via PID spoofing.
