   4 Subject: [PATCH 31/65] sound: Prevent buffer overflow in OSS load_mixer_volumes
   5
   6 The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
   7 unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
   8 a buffer overflow.  Because the provided "name" argument isn't
   9 guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
  10 to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
  11 Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
  12 subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
  13 escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels().  In
  14 addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.
