"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: seq: oss: Fix races at processing SysEx messages\n\nOSS sequencer handles the SysEx messages split in 6 bytes packets, and\nALSA sequencer OSS layer tries to combine those. It stores the data\nin the internal buffer and this access is racy as of now, which may\nlead to the out-of-bounds access.\n\nAs a temporary band-aid fix, introduce a mutex for serializing the\nprocess of the SysEx message packets."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached only through write() on the OSS sequencer character device /dev/sequencer or /dev/music, which requires local access to the machine. There is no remote or network path into snd_seq_oss_synth_sysex().\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race — two threads (or a concurrent SNDCTL_SEQ_RESET ioctl) hammering write() on the same file descriptor — and can retry the tight loop indefinitely until the unserialized dest/len window is hit. No condition outside the attacker's control is required.\nPR:L - Neither odev_open() nor the write path performs any capability check; only the device file permissions apply, and desktop udev/logind grant the logged-in unprivileged user access to /dev/sequencer and /dev/snd/seq (audio group / uaccess ACL). The attacker can even self-provision the required MIDI device by creating a MIDI_GENERIC sequencer port as an unprivileged user.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the race entirely from its own threads via open/write/ioctl; no victim action, no file to be opened by another user, and no administrator step is involved.\nS:U - The corruption stays inside the kernel's own heap and security authority — a standard local kernel memory-safety bug with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The race yields slab out-of-bounds access on a kmalloc'd object and, via the concurrent kfree() of info->sysex in the reset path, use-after-free access to freed heap memory; such heap corruption/UAF primitives are leverageable for kernel memory disclosure, and the SysEx event is dispatched with a racily-read length/pointer to a buffer the attacker can read back through the sequencer.\nI:H - This is an out-of-bounds heap *write* of fully attacker-chosen bytes past the 136-byte seq_oss_synth_sysex object (extendable further via chained lost-update races on the unlocked len++), plus a potential UAF write, which is the classic basis for heap grooming and control-flow hijack leading to privilege escalation.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds/use-after-free write reliably produces slab corruption and KASAN/SLUB-redzone-detected faults, and an unprivileged local user can repeat it in a loop to panic or destabilize the kernel."
