** Description changed:

- information leak
+ The snd_timer_user_params function in sound/core/timer.c in the Linux
+ kernel through 4.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which
+ allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
+ memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface.
  
  Break-Fix: - cec8f96e49d9be372fdb0c3836dcf31ec71e457e
