Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: rawmidi - fix the uninitalized user_pversion<br />
<br />
The user_pversion was uninitialized for the user space file structure<br />
in the open function, because the file private structure use<br />

fixes are required.<br />
