CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7566
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to write arbitrary files on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds write while ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A local attacker can trigger buffer overflow and use after free and reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently and write arbitrary files.
