CVE-2010-4074: Infoleak
First published: Mon Nov 01 2010(Updated: )
Description of problem: The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl in both mos7720.c and mos7840.c allows unprivileged users to read uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the serial_icounter_struct struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.
