When the stream is set up again by another thread\nbetween them, it leads to inconsistency, and may result in unexpected\nresults such as NULL dereference of OSS buffer as a fuzzer spotted\nrecently.\n\nThe fix is simply to cover snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() call into the same\nparams_lock mutex with snd_pcm_oss_make_ready_locked() variant." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - Triggered via local SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl on OSS PCM devices (/dev/dsp), requiring local process access to the sound device node rather than network or physical reachability.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by running concurrent threads on the same OSS fd (e.g., SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC racing SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED, which sets params then calls change_params via get_active_substream without checking rw_ref).\nPR:L - Opening /dev/dsp and issuing OSS ioctls requires only ordinary local user access (typically audio-group membership); the code path has no capability checks or root requirement.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs no victim action; the attacker opens the device and issues the racing ioctls themselves.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel authority (crash or memory corruption in-process); there is no VM/IOMMU/sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - The race leaves period_ptr inconsistent with a reallocated or NULL OSS buffer, enabling size_t underflow and out-of-bounds writes via snd_pcm_format_set_silence that can corrupt kernel heap and be leveraged for information disclosure.\nI:H - The same inconsistent state yields an out-of-bounds write into kernel memory (or NULL dereference after failed reallocation), which is exploitable for integrity compromise and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The documented NULL dereference of the OSS buffer causes a kernel oops/panic, and the OOB write path similarly crashes or hangs the kernel." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e3a5d59a17e9a42e3f3e0e37342b2679bab2ff43", "lessThan": "4051324a6dafd7053c74c475e80b3ba10ae672b0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e3a5d59a17e9a42e3f3e0e37342b2679bab2ff43", "lessThan": "fce793a056c604b41a298317cf704dae255f1b36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e3a5d59a17e9a42e3f3e0e37342b2679bab2ff43", "lessThan": "8015ef9e8a0ee5cecfd0cb6805834d007ab26f86", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e3a5d59a17e9a42e3f3e0e37342b2679bab2ff43", "lessThan": "723ac5ab2891b6c10dd6cc78ef5456af593490eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e3a5d59a17e9a42e3f3e0e37342b2679bab2ff43", "lessThan": "8423f0b6d513b259fdab9c9bf4aaa6188d054c2d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.20", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.20", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.4.215", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.148", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.68", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.19.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.20", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.215" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.20", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.148" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.20", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.68" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.20", "versionEndExcluding": "5.19.9" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.20", "versionEndExcluding": "6.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4051324a6dafd7053c74c475e80b3ba10ae672b0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fce793a056c604b41a298317cf704dae255f1b36" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8015ef9e8a0ee5cecfd0cb6805834d007ab26f86" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/723ac5ab2891b6c10dd6cc78ef5456af593490eb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8423f0b6d513b259fdab9c9bf4aaa6188d054c2d" } ], "title": "ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix race at SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 4.7, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2022-49733", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T19:28:32.574856Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-476", "description": "CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T19:36:38.398Z" } } ] } }
