>From my reading of the changes between the .23 and .25 kernels you could
only be affected if you were using a compatibility interface which is
only used if you use i386 binaries on amd64, otherwise the altered code
is not in use even as remmina is a natively compiled application.

Bug description:
  The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the
  __user annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel
  pointer and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
  dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to
  __sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first. The
  impact is a sort of arbitrary kernel write-where-what primitive by
  unprivileged users where the to-be-written area must contain valid
  timespec data initially (the first 64 bit long field must be positive
  and the second one must be < 1G).
