Description Eugene Teo (Security Response) 2008-08-06 01:59:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
Tobias Klein reported that the snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() function incorrectly reports information to userspace without first checking for the validity of the device number, leading to possible information leak.
