Descriptions
The Linux kernel 4.15 has a Buffer Overflow via an SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_SET_CLIENT_POOL ioctl write operation to /dev/snd/seq by a local user.
El kernel de Linux 4.15 tiene un desbordamiento de búfer mediante una operación de escritura ioctl SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_SET_CLIENT_POOL en /dev/snd/seq por un usuario local.
ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead to UAF or out-of-bound access.
