Descriptions

drivers/media/video/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c in the Video4Linux (V4L) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 on 64-bit platforms does not validate the destination of a memory copy operation, which allows local users to write to arbitrary kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a VIDIOCSTUNER ioctl call on a /dev/video device, followed by a VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl call on this device.

drivers/media/video/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c en la implementación de Video4Linux (V4L) en kernel de Linux anteriores a v2.6.36 en plataformas de 64 bits no valida el destino de una operación de copia de memoria, lo cual permite a usuarios locales escribir en lugares de memoria del núcleo a su elección, y en consecuencia obtener privilegios, a través de una llamada VIDIOCSTUNER ioctl en un dispositivo /dev/video, seguida por una llamada VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl en este dispositivo.
