The patch titled
Subject: fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fs-compat_ioctlc-video_set_spu_palette-missing-error-check.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org>
Subject: fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check
The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check
while converting ioctl arguments. This could lead to leaking kernel stack
contents into userspace.
Patch extracted from existing fix in grsecurity.
