The atalk_recvmsg function in net/appletalk/ddp.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 memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-7267 is a Linux kernel information disclosure flaw in AppleTalk/DDP message handling. A local user could cause certain receive calls to expose sensitive kernel memory. It is not described as remotely exploitable, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is most relevant on Linux systems running kernels before 3.12.4 or unfixed vendor backports, especially shared or multi-user hosts where untrusted local users can execute code. Treat as a legacy kernel hygiene issue with moderate urgency. It is local, not KEV-listed, but kernel memory disclosure is meaningful on shared systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a vendor-fixed Linux kernel package.; Check Ubuntu, Red Hat, and kernel.org guidance for applicable backports.; Prioritize shared, multi-user, CI, and hosting systems..
