The do_video_set_spu_palette function in fs/compat_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6.5 on unspecified architectures lacks a certain error check, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE ioctl call on a /dev/dvb device.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1928 is an old Linux kernel information disclosure issue. A local user could potentially read sensitive data from kernel stack memory through a DVB device interface. The supplied sources do not show remote attackability or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels before 3.6.5, or distributor kernels missing the relevant backport, with DVB device nodes available to local users. Treat this as a legacy kernel hygiene issue. It is not presented as internet-exploitable, but affected multi-user or shared Linux systems could leak sensitive memory. Prioritize if old kernels remain in production. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant vendor kernel update or an upstream kernel containing the fix.; Verify whether distribution kernels have backported the upstream commit.; Limit local untrusted user access on affected legacy systems pending patching..
