CVE-2026-74497: ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp frame size in implicit-feedback mode

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp frame size in implicit-feedback mode

snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() scales received sync packet sizes by the sender's
stride and stores the result directly in out_packet->packet_size[i]. If a
connected USB device sends an oversized sync packet, this frame count can
exceed ep->maxframesize.

The un-clamped frame count then propagates to the playback endpoint queue,
potentially driving packet transfers beyond the endpoint's hardware frame
limits.

Cap the calculated frame count against ep->maxframesize in
snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() to prevent oversized packets from entering the
playback queue.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74497 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
