NVD Score used7.8

The intr function in sound/oss/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

linux vulnerabilities

Pengfei Wang discovered that the Turtle Beach MultiSound audio device driver in the Linux kernel contained race conditions when fetching from the ring-buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds access. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-9986)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

  • Ethernet bonding driver;
  • PCI subsystem;
  • SCSI subsystem;
  • Tracing infrastructure;
  • B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;
  • IUCV driver; (CVE-2022-49114, CVE-2023-52784, CVE-2024-53194, CVE-2024-53210, CVE-2024-56763, CVE-2026-31657, CVE-2026-43456)
