CVE-2026-64479

CVE-2026-64479 concerns the Linux kernel ALSA sequencer, where snd_seq_event_dup() can leak 4 bytes of uninitialized kernel heap memory. The issue arises in the UMP-enabled path: when copying an incoming event into a pool cell, the code conditionally zeros cell->ump.raw.extra only if size even...
