Overview

About vulnerability

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(). A buffer overwrite vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s ALSA firewire-motu driver. When handling DSP events, the put_user() loop copies event data to userspace without properly checking if the user buffer size is aligned to 4 bytes. If the buffer is misaligned, the copy operation can write beyond the intended buffer boundary.
