In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: fireworks: bound device-supplied status before string array lookup The status field in an EFW response is a 32-bit value supplied by the firewire device. efr_status_names[] has 17 entries so a status value outside that range goes off into the weeds when looking at the %s value. Even worse, the status could return EFR_STATUS_INCOMPLETE which is 0x80000000, and is obviously not in that array of potential strings. Fix this up by properly bounding the index against the array size and printing "unknown" if it's not recognized. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA fireworks driver. A malicious firewire device could supply a specially crafted status value, causing an out-of-bounds read during a string array lookup. This vulnerability may lead to a denial of service (DoS) or potentially information disclosure.
