Descriptions

In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition.

En el kernel de Linux en versiones 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 y, probablemente, versiones anteriores, existe una vulnerabilidad en el sistema de sonido, lo que puede conducir a un deadlock y a una condiciĆ³n de denegaciĆ³n de servicio (DoS).

In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
