When someone says they know Kung Fu, what are they referring to?

I thought Kung Fu was an umbrella term for all Chinese martial arts.

Kung Fu is a martial art with different divisions (wushu, drunken boxing, eight animal style, etc.)

You're basically correct, OP.

Though it isn't the literal translation of the phrase, if someone says that they practice Kung Fu, then they practice some form of Chinese martial art. There are many, many different types. Might be a grappling-heavy style, like Shuai Jiao. Might be a flowery striking art, like Northern Shaolin. Might be heavy on joint-locks, like White Crane.
