Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: ump: do not touch legacy_rmidi before it exists
snd_ump_parse_endpoint() sets ump->parsed on every exit, including
error, before the caller attaches the legacy rawmidi device.
ump_handle_ep_name_msg() then treats parsed as "legacy_rmidi is live"
and calls ump_legacy_set_rawmidi_name(), which snprintf()s into
ump->legacy_rmidi->name. If a UMP packet arrives in that window
(IRQ path from snd_ump_receive), legacy_rmidi is still NULL
(KASAN null-ptr-deref in snprintf).
Guard the legacy helpers. parsed only means endpoint info was
parsed, not that legacy_rmidi exists.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. When configuring Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) devices, the driver prematurely treats endpoint structures as fully initialized before legacy MIDI data structures are attached. A local user or connected device sending packets during this window can trigger a null pointer dereference, causing a kernel crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation requires local access or an attached Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) device, and the resulting impact is limited to a system crash (denial of service) without compromising confidentiality or integrity. On standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux server installations, sound hardware and MIDI devices are typically not present, substantially reducing exposure. The flaw only poses a risk on systems actively utilizing UMP-capable audio peripherals or virtualized sound hardware accessible to local users.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
