** Description changed:

- Linux kernel built with Digital Video Broadcasting(CONFIG_DVB) support
- are vulnerable to an information leak issue. The leak could occurs via
- an ioctl(VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE) call on a device file under - /dev/dvb/
- - tree.
+ The do_video_set_spu_palette function in fs/compat_ioctl.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 3.6.5 on unspecified architectures lacks a certain error
+ check, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information
+ from kernel stack memory via a crafted VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE ioctl call
+ on a /dev/dvb device.
