GHSA-GMR7-W89V-RR2Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-14 18:30 – Updated: 2026-02-16 09:30In 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].
