Vulnerability in Debian Linux (CVE-2018-10902)

Summary

Vulnerability in Debian Linux (CVE-2018-10902). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for privilege escalation.
