Description

A flaw was found in the ALSA portman2x4 driver of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because the driver does not properly validate the card index, specifically failing to check for negative ID values. A local attacker could exploit this by providing a negative ID value via sysfs, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This could potentially result in system instability or information disclosure.
