FKIE_CVE-2010-4078
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-11-29 16:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:24
Severity
Summary
The sisfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc6 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.
