[PATCH] sound/isa/wavefront: copy userspace array safely

[Philipp Stanner]

wavefront_fx.c utilizes memdup_user() to copy a userspace array. This
does not check for an overflow.

Use the new wrapper memdup_array_user() to copy the array more safely.

There is a check above the memdup_user() call; it's at most 512
bytes.

Although the check is already present, it's still better to use the
new helper, so I applied the patch now.

... and the helper is available only on Linus tree for now, so I
postpone after 6.7-rc1 release, so that we can have a solid base.
