CVE-2013-6432
Published: 9 December 2013
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.
From the Ubuntu security team
A flaw was discovered in the ipv4 ping_recvmsg function of the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
