CVE-2015-9289

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s CX24116 tv-card driver, where an out of bounds read occurs when checking userspace params in drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. An attacker could use this flaw to leak kernel private information to userspace.

This flaw requires a Conexant CX24116 series TV-media card to be in the system for this driver to load. This flaw is when an attacker attempts to use the card to communicate with a satellite tv control subsystem ( via Digital Satellite Equipment Control command) by issuing a specially crafted ioctl to the device.
