In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire-motu: add bounds check in put_user loop for DSP events
In the DSP event handling code, a put_user() loop copies event data.
When the user buffer size is not aligned to 4 bytes, it could overwrite
beyond the buffer boundary.
Fix by adding a bounds check before put_user().
A buffer overwrite vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA firewire-motu driver. When handling DSP events, the put_user() loop copies event data to userspace without properly checking if the user buffer size is aligned to 4 bytes. If the buffer is misaligned, the copy operation can write beyond the intended buffer boundary.
Отчет
This vulnerability requires local access and the presence of FireWire MOTU audio hardware. The overwrite occurs in userspace memory provided by the calling application, limiting the security impact. Standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux configurations do not typically include FireWire audio hardware support.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the snd_firewire_motu module from being loaded if MOTU FireWire audio devices are not required. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module.
