From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:38:16 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34.15~56 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fabe66bd6a4683f802b3cc6ec59579effb1afc41;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check commit 12176503366885edd542389eed3aaf94be163fdb upstream. The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check while converting ioctl arguments. This could lead to leaking kernel stack contents into userspace. Patch extracted from existing fix in grsecurity.
