Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: usb-mixer: us16x08: validate meter packet indices<br />
<br />
get_meter_levels_from_urb() parses the 64-byte meter packets sent by<br />
the device and fills the per-channel arrays meter_level[],<br />
comp_level[] and master_level[] in struct snd_us16x08_meter_store.<br />
<br />
Currently the function derives the channel index directly from the<br />
meter packet (MUB2(meter_urb, s) - 1) and uses it to index those<br />
arrays without validating the range. If the packet contains a<br />
negative or out-of-range channel number, the driver may write past<br />
the end of these arrays.<br />
<br />
Introduce a local channel variable and validate it before updating the<br />
arrays. We reject negative indices, limit meter_level[] and<br />
comp_level[] to SND_US16X08_MAX_CHANNELS, and guard master_level[]<br />
updates with ARRAY_SIZE(master_level).
