[41/44] V4L/DVB: ivtvfb: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 19:36:28 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 405707985594169cfd0b1d97d29fcb4b4c6f2ac9 upstream.

The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of
the fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed
before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it.
