Bug Description

The load_mixer_volumes function in sound/oss/soundcard.c in the OSS sound
subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 incorrectly expects that a
certain name field ends with a '\0' character, which allows local users to
conduct buffer overflow attacks and gain privileges, or possibly obtain
sensitive information from kernel memory, via a SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl
call.
