MEDIUMLinux Kernel < 2.6.38.8 - Denial of Service via Large v4l2_ext_controls Count Value
Title source: llmDescription
The video_usercopy function in drivers/media/video/v4l2-ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 relies on the count value of a v4l2_ext_controls data structure to determine a kmalloc size, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large value.
