CVE-2026-98912In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: oss: Reject reads that cannot fit the next event
snd_seq_oss_read() checks whether the next...
Executive summaryA bug in the Linux kernel's ALSA sound sequencer OSS read path was fixed, where an inverted size check could hand back the wrong events or make an undersized read look like end-of-file. The advisory does not state a severity rating or any exploitation details. The text provided describes a stable-tree commit that corrects the check; it does not give explicit upgrade instructions beyond applying that fix. Technical summaryThe flaw is an inverted comparison in snd_seq_oss_read() in sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_rw.c, which checks whether the next queued OSS sequencer event fits the remaining userspace buffer. The fix changes the condition so the read breaks only when the remaining buffer is smaller than the next event, and sets -EINVAL when no complete event has been copied. The advisory does not state a CVSS score, attack vector, required privileges, or exploitation status. Affected and fixed version ranges are not stated beyond the referenced stable-tree commit 20b8520d1ef996173065f7abdde47b99136c0785. Workarounds and detection guidance are not stated. Summaries are generated by AI from the linked advisory text. Confirm versions and fixes at the source.
