In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: fireworks: bound device-supplied status before string array lookup
The status field in an EFW response is a 32-bit value supplied by the
firewire device. efr_status_names[] has 17 entries so a status value
outside that range goes off into the weeds when looking at the %s value.
Even worse, the status could return EFR_STATUS_INCOMPLETE which is
0x80000000, and is obviously not in that array of potential strings.
Fix this up by properly bounding the index against the array size and
printing "unknown" if it's not recognized.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA fireworks driver. A malicious firewire device could supply a specially crafted status value, causing an out-of-bounds read during a string array lookup. This vulnerability may lead to a denial of service (DoS) or potentially information disclosure.
Отчет
FireWire Echo Audio fireworks status indices are now bounded before table lookup, closing OOB read from a malicious device. Red Hat recommends patched kernels when FireWire audio is exposed; unload snd_fireworks if unused.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the snd_fireworks module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
