Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2489:10 advisory.

 * It was found that the timer functionality in the Linux kernel ALSA subsystem is prone to a race condition between read and ioctl system call handlers, resulting in an uninitialized memory disclosure to user space. A local user could use this flaw to read information belonging to other users.
 (CVE-2017-1000380, Moderate) Asianux would like to thank Alexander Potapenko (Google) for reporting this issue.
 CVE-2017-1000380 sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local users being able to read information belonging to other users, i.e., uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
