A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel 3.2.53/3.4.72/3.10.22/3.12.3 (Operating System) and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function dgram_recvmsg
of the file net/ieee802154/dgram.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:
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.
The weakness was presented 11/18/2013 by Brad Spengler and Tom Labanowski as Linux kernel: net: uninitialised memory leakage as not defined mailinglist post (oss-sec).
