What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usb-audio: Prevent excessive number of frames

In this case, the user constructed the parameters with maxpacksize 40

for rate 22050 / pps 1000, and packsize[0] 22 packsize[1] 23. The buffer

size for each data URB is maxpacksize * packets, which in this example

is 40 * 6 = 240; When the user performs a write operation to send audio

data into the ALSA PCM playback stream, the calculated number of frames

is packsize[0] * packets = 264, which exceeds the allocated URB buffer

size, triggering the out-of-bounds (OOB) issue reported by syzbot [1].

Added a check for the number of single data URB frames when calculating

the number of frames to prevent [1].
