Netbsd · Netbsd · CVE-2010-0561
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
NetBSD versions 4.0 through 5.0
NetBSD-current before 2010-01-21
**Description**
The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a kernel panic. This is achieved by passing a negative mixer index number to either the azalia query devinfo function in the azalia audio driver or the hdaudio afg query devinfo function in the hdaudio audio driver.
**Recommendations**
For NetBSD versions 4.0 through 5.0, consider updating to a version released after 2010-01-21 to resolve the issue.
For NetBSD-current before 2010-01-21, update to a version released after 2010-01-21 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the azalia query devinfo function and the hdaudio afg query devinfo function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
