In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: 6fire: fix OOB write from device-reported iso length
usb6fire_pcm_in_urb_handler() sizes each outgoing isochronous packet as
(actual_length - 4) / (in_n_analog << 2) * (out_n_analog << 2) + 4, where
actual_length is the unsigned length the device reported for the matching
IN packet. A packet completed with status 0 and actual_length < 4 wraps
the subtraction to 0x7fffffec; a zero-length isochronous packet is legal
on the bus, and the preceding loop rejects only non-zero status. The sum
reaches memset() on out_urb->buffer, a 4832-byte object from
kcalloc(PCM_MAX_PACKET_SIZE, PCM_N_PACKETS_PER_URB).
Even without the wrap the result is out of bounds: at 88.2/96 kHz the
4-in/6-out scaling turns a full 420-byte IN packet into 628, so eight
packets span 5024 bytes of that buffer. usb_submit_urb() rejects an
over-long descriptor only after the memset() and the
usb6fire_pcm_playback() copy of user PCM data have run.
Guard the subtraction as the sibling usb6fire_pcm_capture() already does,
and limit the frame count to what fits in rt->out_packet_size, the OUT
endpoint's wMaxPacketSize. This bounds total_length by the buffer size
while keeping each packet length aligned to a whole output frame.
