Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ALSA dummy driver's snd_dummy_probe() does not validate the card index value. If the device is bound manually via sysfs, the index can be -1, leading to out-of-bounds array access.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to driver malfunction or potential memory safety issues, which might be exploited.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update that includes the fix adding card index validation in snd_dummy_probe().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: dummy: Check card index validity at probe snd_dummy_probe() blindly trusts that the given devptr->id value is within the proper card index range. It's OK for the devices the driver itself creates at the module probe time, but if the device is bound manually via sysfs interface, this could be -1 as "none", and this leads to OOB access for index[] and other parameters. Add a sanity check for the card index and warn/correct it if it's a value out of the range.
