CVE-2013-7266 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in the Linux kernel, specifically within the mISDN_sock_recvmsg function, affecting versions prior to 3.12.4. This flaw allows local users to extract sensitive data from kernel memory due to an inconsistency between a length value and the size of a data structure during recvfrom, recvmmsg, or recvmsg system calls. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating a medium severity. It requires local access (AV:L) and has low attack complexity (AC:L), with no authentication needed (Au:N), leading to a complete compromise of confidentiality (C:C) but no impact on integrity or availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting a low level of public attention.
