CVE-2012-4467

Publication date 10 October 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The (1) do_siocgstamp and (2) do_siocgstampns functions in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.4 use an incorrect argument order, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted ioctl call.
