True, that being the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel backported to Ubuntu 12.04.
So while Ubuntu 12.04 isn't affected by default, I guess it can be.

No, not sure; I was only going by:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1749-1/
but I see that whilst it mentions 12.04, it also says Quantal (which
is 12.10). A flaw in the Linux kernel introduced in 3.3
allows a local user to
crash the kernel or obtain root access. Those running new enough
distributions (notably including Ubuntu 12.04) are vulnerable, so
please check whether you need to update.

Sure about Ubuntu 12.04? It running a 3.2 kernel it really shouldn't be
affected.
