Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ALSA: pcm: oss: Limit the period size to 16MB<br /> <br /> Set the practical limit to the period size (the fragment shift in OSS)<br /> instead of a full 31bit; a too large value could lead to the exhaust<br /> of memory as we allocate temporary buffers of the period size, too.<br /> <br /> As of this patch, we set to 16MB limit, which should cover all use<br /> cases.
