Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity check for OOB writes at silencing<br />
<br />
At silencing the playback URB packets in the implicit fb mode before<br />
the actual playback, we blindly assume that the received packets fit<br />
with the buffer size. But when the setup in the capture stream<br />
differs from the playback stream (e.g. due to the USB core limitation<br />
of max packet size), such an inconsistency may lead to OOB writes to<br />
the buffer, resulting in a crash.<br />
<br />
For addressing it, add a sanity check of the transfer buffer size at<br />
prepare_silent_urb(), and stop the data copy if the received data<br />
overflows. Also, report back the transfer error properly from there,<br />
too.<br />
<br />
Note that this doesn&#39;t fix the root cause of the playback error<br />
itself, but this merely covers the kernel Oops.
