Message-ID: <4B81FF29.4020108@kernel.sg> Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:51:05 +0800 From: Eugene Teo <eugeneteo@...nel.sg> To: oss-security@...ts.openwall.com CC: "Steven M. Christey" <coley@...us.mitre.org> Subject: CVE request: kernel: ALSA: hda-intel: Avoid divide by zero crash hda-intel crashes the kernel due to a divide by zero in azx_position_ok. Using mp3blaster-3.2.5 (latest version) to play MP3 audio, the reporter was able to crash the kernel by stopping and restarting playback using the "5" key repeatedly. This happens as a normal user, not only as root. Kernel backtrace points to azx_position_ok() dividing by zero.
