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: firefly_0821_release~7541^2~410 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab41bb2e47540a714271dfa2943566b1fd4afa9c;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.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.
