CVE-2013-6432

Severity

46%

Complexity

31%

Confidentiality

115%

Per: http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476.html "CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference"

The ping_recvmsg function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 does not properly interact with read system calls on ping sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by leveraging unspecified privileges to execute a crafted application.

Per: http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476.html "CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference"

CVSS 2.0 Base Score 4.6. CVSS Attack Vector: local. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C).
