CVE-2013-0290 affects Linux kernel versions up to and including 3.7.9.

Q: Is CVE-2013-0290 a remote or local vulnerability?

CVE-2013-0290 is a local vulnerability that requires an unprivileged local user to exploit.

Q: What impact does CVE-2013-0290 have on system security?

CVE-2013-0290 can lead to local denial of service, impacting system availability.

Published Feb 15, 2013

Updated

A flaw was found in the way skbrecvdatagram() processed skbs with no payload when MSGPEEK was requested. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to cause local denial of service.

Upstream commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=77c1090

References: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q1/310

Other sources

The skbrecvdatagram function in net/core/datagram.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8 does not properly handle the MSGPEEK flag with zero-length data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and system hang) via a crafted application.
