CVE-2009-3001 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3001):
  The llc_ui_getname function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel
  2.6.31-rc7 and earlier does not initialize a certain data structure,
  which allows local users to read the contents of some kernel memory
  locations by calling getsockname on an AF_LLC socket.
