From 58c50b45909baa508864fc68b81a410210d89fef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:13:58 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check 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.
