Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
firmware: cs_dsp: Return error if block header overflows file<br />
<br />
Return an error from cs_dsp_power_up() if a block header is longer<br />
than the amount of data left in the file.<br />
<br />
The previous code in cs_dsp_load() and cs_dsp_load_coeff() would loop<br />
while there was enough data left in the file for a valid region. This<br />
protected against overrunning the end of the file data, but it didn&#39;t<br />
abort the file processing with an error.
