In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read

snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace
before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use
SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first
extension cell.

The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the
copy, but it leaves data.ext.ptr untouched. A userspace sequencer client
can therefore write a direct variable event to itself and read back the
extension-cell kernel address from the returned header.

Clear the temporary header pointer before copy_to_user(). The original
queued event remains unchanged and is still passed to
snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so payload expansion keeps using the
internal chain.
