CVE-2013-3231 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in the Linux kernel, specifically within the llc_ui_recvmsg function in versions prior to 3.9-rc7. This flaw allows local users to extract sensitive data from kernel stack memory due to an uninitialized length variable during recvmsg or recvfrom system calls.
