Description:
 The snd_compress_check_input function in sound/core/compress_offload.c in
 the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check
 for an integer overflow, which allows local users to cause a denial of
 service (insufficient memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other
 impact via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl call.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that the compression handling code in the Advanced Linux
 Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly
 check for an integer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a
 denial of service (system crash).
Notes:
 jdstrand> android kernels (flo, goldfish, grouper, maguro, mako and manta) are
  not supported on the Ubuntu Touch 14.10 and earlier preview kernels
 jdstrand> linux-lts-saucy no longer receives official support
 jdstrand> linux-lts-quantal no longer receives official support
