Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the ALSA usb-audio component where the
snd usb handle sync urb() function scales received sync packet sizes by the sender's stride and stores the result in out packet->packet size[i]. If a connected USB device sends an oversized sync packet, the frame count can exceed ep->maxframesize. This un-clamped frame count propagates to the playback endpoint queue, which may drive packet transfers beyond the hardware frame limits of the endpoint.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
