Title:CVE-2012-6537 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) - low.
Description:net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. Mathias Krause discovered several errors in the Linux kernel's xfrm_user implementation. A local attacker could exploit these flaws to examine parts of kernel memory.
