Descriptions

The media_device_enum_entities function in drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/media0 read access for a MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl call.

La funciĆ³n media_device_enum_entities en drivers/media/media-device.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.14.6 no inicializa cierta estructura de datos, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener informaciĆ³n sensible de la memoria del kernel mediante el aprovechamiento del acceso a lectura /dev/media0 para una llamada MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl.

An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled media device enumerate entities IOCTL requests. A local user able to access the /dev/media0 device file could use this flaw to leak kernel memory bytes.
