CVE-2011-1169 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Array index error in the asihpi_hpi_ioctl function in sound/pci/asihpi/hpioctl.c in the AudioScience HPI driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.1 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted adapter index value that triggers access to an invalid kernel pointer.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
