Unspecified impact via unchecked card index
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Out-of-bounds access in the ALSA dummy driver in Linux allows local users to cause unspecified impact through a manual sysfs bind. The snd_dummy_probe() function uses devptr->id, including the -1 "none" value, to index index[] and other parameter arrays without first validating the card-number range. Triggering requires manual driver binding through sysfs; the published record does not establish a crash, disclosure, corruption, or privilege gain.
