Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: oss: Reject reads that cannot fit the next event
snd_seq_oss_read() checks whether the next queued OSS sequencer event
fits in the remaining userspace buffer before removing it from the read
queue.
The check is inverted. It currently stops when the event is smaller than
the remaining buffer, so a normal 4-byte event is not copied for an
8-byte read buffer. Conversely, an 8-byte event can be copied for a
smaller read count.
Break only when the remaining userspace buffer is smaller than the next
event, and report -EINVAL if no complete event has been copied. This
prevents an undersized read from looking like end-of-file while leaving
the event queued for a later read with a large enough buffer.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) subsystem. An inverted buffer size check in the OSS (Open Sound System) sequencer read handler allows a local user to cause memory corruption. Because the kernel checks buffer bounds incorrectly, it copies event data into a destination buffer that is too small. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by submitting an undersized read request, resulting in a buffer overflow in user memory and a potential Denial of Service (DoS).
