Descriptions

The snd_timer_interrupt function in sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 does not properly maintain a certain linked list, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (race condition and system crash) via a crafted ioctl call.

La función snd_timer_interrupt en sound/core/timer.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.4.1 no mantiene adecuadamente una cierta lista enlazada, lo que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (condición de carrera y caída del sistema) a través de una llamada ioctl manipulada.
