Descriptions

The ivtvfb_ioctl function in drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtvfb.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc8 does not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an FBIOGET_VBLANK ioctl call.

La función ivtvfb_ioctl de drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtvfb.c del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.36-rc8 no inicializa apropiadamente un miembro determinado de una estructura, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información potencialmente confidencial de la memoria de pila del kernel a través de una llamada ioctl FBIOGET_VBLANK.
