Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2015-06-21 13:32:05 UTC 
CVE-2013-7421 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-7421):
  The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load
  arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a
  module name in the salg_name field, a different vulnerability than
  CVE-2014-9644.
