Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ALSA firewire-motu driver lacked a bounds check in the put_user loop for DSP events. This could lead to writing beyond the allocated buffer when the user buffer size is not aligned to 4 bytes.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite memory beyond the buffer, potentially causing system crashes or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds a bounds check before put_user().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: firewire-motu: add bounds check in put_user loop for DSP events In the DSP event handling code, a put_user() loop copies event data. When the user buffer size is not aligned to 4 bytes, it could overwrite beyond the buffer boundary. Fix by adding a bounds check before put_user().
