NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-kdump-devel package and not the kernel-kdump-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allow local users to cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access, related to (1) index values in the snd_ctl_add function and (2) numid values in the snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict function.
