## Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the MSM camera driver for the
Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android
contributions for MSM devices and other products, allow attackers to gain
privileges via (1) a crafted VIDIOC\_MSM\_VPE\_DEQUEUE\_STREAM\_BUFF\_INFO ioctl
call, related to drivers/media/platform/msm/camera\_v2/pproc/vpe/msm\_vpe.c,
or (2) a crafted VIDIOC\_MSM\_CPP\_DEQUEUE\_STREAM\_BUFF\_INFO ioctl call,
related to drivers/media/platform/msm/camera\_v2/pproc/cpp/msm\_cpp.c.
