The intr function in sound/oss/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-9986 is a Linux kernel issue in legacy OSS sound driver code. A local user could trigger an out-of-bounds access, causing denial of service, with other impact not clearly specified in the source bundle. Exposure appears limited to systems running Linux kernel through 4.11.7 where the affected kernel code is present and reachable by local users. The provided sources do not identify specific distributions, package versions, or configuration requirements. Treat as a targeted local-risk issue, not an internet-wide emergency based on available evidence. Prioritize legacy Linux systems with shared users, untrusted workloads, or stability requirements. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running Linux kernel 4.11.7 or earlier.; Check kernel and distribution advisories for confirmed fixed versions.; Plan upgrades to supported kernels where affected versions are present..
