--- title: "CVE-2011-1169\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-1169?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2011-1169 Publication date 3 May 2011 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description Array index error in the asihpi\_hpi\_ioctl function in sound/pci/asihpi/hpioctl.c in the AudioScience HPI driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.1 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted adapter index value that triggers access to an invalid kernel pointer. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Dan Rosenberg discovered that some ALSA drivers did not correctly check the adapter index during ioctl calls. If this driver was loaded, a local attacker could make a specially crafted ioctl call to gain root privileges. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | linux | 11.04 natty | Fixed 2.6.38-8.40 | | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-30.52 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not affected | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-ec2 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Ignored end of life | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-fsl-imx51 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-lts-backport-maverick | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.35-30.54~lucid1 | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-lts-backport-natty | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | linux-mvl-dove | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not affected | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-source-2.6.15 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Ignored end of life | | linux-ti-omap4 | 11.04 natty | Fixed 2.6.38-1208.11 | | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-903.23 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) * [Patch details](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-1169?format=md#patch-details) ### Patch details For informational purposes only.
