** Description changed:

- Specially crafted requests may be written to /dev/sequencer resulting in
- an underflow when calculating a size for a copy_from_user() operation in
- the driver for MIDI interfaces.  On x86, this just returns an error, but
- it may cause memory corruption on other architectures.  Other malformed
- requests may result in the use of uninitialized variables.
+ Integer underflow in the Open Sound System (OSS) subsystem in the Linux
+ kernel before 2.6.39 on unspecified non-x86 platforms allows local users
+ to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging write
+ access to /dev/sequencer.
