Root Stop Apps from Using Camera and Microphone

So I was reading on some alternative news sites that certain programs can access your camera and microphone after some updates google made. I already had an app asking for that permission today.

I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to deny access to the camera by any app that I do not want to access it. Any ideas?

So far, I've only found this:

But, it requires an ICS based ROM as the patch is based on CM9.

I'm putting this patch on now to control my other permissions:

It won't boot now; I need to restore. IDK what the hell we are going to do about this camera problem....
