A security vulnerability that could allow an external attacker to escalate privileges and execute malicious code puts the Linux kernel at risk.
The security vulnerability impacts the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA), which is a software framework that establishes an application programming interface (API) for sound card drivers in the Linux kernel. While the potential damage from escalated privileges is high, IT decision-makers should note that a patch has already been made available.
An active development community helps keep security concerns associated with Linux at bay. However, IT managers and users must stay alert to potential concerns and work to apply recommended fixes at the earliest opportunity.
