*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The nr_recvmsg function in net/netrom/af_netrom.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.
