[alsa-devel] [patch] [ALSA] seq_oss_event: missing range checks

4 Mar 2013

The "dev" variable could be out of bounds.  Calling
snd_seq_oss_synth_is_valid() checks that it is is a valid device
which has been opened.  We check this inside set_note_event() so
this function can't succeed without a valid "dev".  But we need to
do the check earlier to prevent invalid dereferences and memory
corruption.
One call tree where "dev" could be out of bounds is:
-> snd_seq_oss_oob_user()
   -> snd_seq_oss_process_event()
      -> extended_event()
         -> note_on_event()
