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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-5329 is a Linux kernel availability flaw in the V4L2 video ioctl path. A local user may be able to trigger excessive kernel memory allocation and cause denial of service. The source bundle identifies kernels before 2.6.39, but provides no CVSS score or product matrix. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels before 2.6.39, or vendor kernels missing the relevant backport. Practical exposure requires local user access and access to the affected V4L2 path. Prioritize remediation where old Linux kernels remain in production, especially shared or multi-user hosts. This is not internet-routable based on the bundle, but it can affect availability on exposed legacy systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a vendor-supported kernel containing the upstream fix or an equivalent backport.; Check Linux distribution advisories for CVE-2010-5329 or commit fc0a80798576f80ca10b3f6c9c7097f12fd1d64e.; Reduce untrusted local user access on legacy systems where upgrade is delayed..
