CVE-2011-1476

Publication date 25 March 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Integer underflow in the Open Sound System (OSS) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 on unspecified non-x86 platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging write access to /dev/sequencer.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Dan Rosenberg reported errors in the OSS (Open Sound System) MIDI interface. A local attacker on non-x86 systems might be able to cause a denial of service.
