** Description changed:

- information leak
+ sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not initialize
+ certain r1 data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
+ information from kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer
+ interface, related to the (1) snd_timer_user_ccallback and (2)
+ snd_timer_user_tinterrupt functions.
