** Description changed:

- Due to a failure to validate user-supplied indexes in the driver for
- Yamaha YM3812 and OPL-3 chips, a specially crafted ioctl request may be
- sent to /dev/sequencer, resulting in reading and writing beyond the
- bounds of heap buffers, and potentially allowing privilege escalation.
+ Multiple array index errors in sound/oss/opl3.c in the Linux kernel
+ before 2.6.39 allow local users to cause a denial of service (heap
+ memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging write
+ access to /dev/sequencer.
