CVE-2013-3228 Kernel: irda: missing msg_namelen update in irda_recvmsg_dgram
Linux kernel built with the The Infrared Data Associations (CONFIG_IRDA)
protocol is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It occurs while
receiving messages via recvmsg(2) socket call.
A user/program could use this flaw to leak kernel memory bytes.
