Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 3/3] ALSA: usbusx2y: validate URB actual_length in interrupt callback
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:56:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916155613.10251-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916155613.10251-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
[ Upstream commit 8f5ef203abda9dd36b2af473c7b737d544f807bd ]
i_usx2y_in04_int() processes the interrupt URB data without checking
urb->actual_length. A short transfer from a malfunctioning device
would cause the handler to process uninitialized heap data from the
kmalloc-allocated in04_buf, which is then copied to the mmap-accessible
ctl_snapshot[] array.
Fix by using kzalloc() for in04_buf to zero-initialize the buffer,
and adding an actual_length check to skip processing on short
transfers while still resubmitting the URB.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
