Subject: CVE-2014-1739: Kernel Infoleak vulnerability in,media_enum_entities()

Hi,

We found an infoleak vulnerability in the ioctl media_enum_entities()
that allows to disclose 200 bytes the kernel process' stack.
The vulnerability is exploitable on versions up to linux-3.15-rc3 by
local users with read access to `/dev/media0`.
Linux distributions ship with `chmod 600 /dev/media0` preventing
unprivileged local users from exploiting the vulnerability.
However, some Android devices are known to be shipped with both read
and/or write permissions for all: chmod 666 /dev/media0.

A detailed analysis, proof of concept and fixes are at:

This has been fixed in Linux Kernel commit:
