Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allow local users to cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access, related to (1) index values in the snd_ctl_add function and (2) numid values in the snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict function.

Múltiples desbordamientos de enteros en sound/core/control.c de la implementación del control de ALSA en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.15.2 permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio mediante el aprovechamiento de acceso /dev/snd/controlCX, relacionado con (1) valores de indice en la función snd_ctl_add y valores (2) numid en la función snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
