Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Bound packet copies by the PCM buffer size

retire_capture_urb() and prepare_playback_urb() assume that one USB
packet never carries more data than the whole ALSA ring buffer. Nothing
enforces that: the packet size comes from the device (wMaxPacketSize,
and curpacksize == maxpacksize when the class-specific endpoint
descriptor sets MaxPacketsOnly), while the PCM hardware constraints only
require 64-byte periods, two periods and a period time of one data
interval. An 8 kHz mono U8 stream on a 128-byte buffer is legal, and a
full-speed device can send 1023-byte packets into it.

On the first oversized packet hwptr_done is wrapped once and stays
beyond buffer_bytes (895 for 1023 bytes into 128). On the next packet
the wrap arithmetic in the copy path computes

    bytes1 = subs->buffer_bytes - oldptr

with oldptr > buffer_bytes, so bytes1 wraps to about 4 GB and memcpy()
runs off the end of the URB buffer and of the vmalloc'd DMA buffer:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in retire_capture_urb+0x251/0x870
  Read of size 4294966529 at addr ffff88800c1e2800 by task vhci_rx/82

and for playback, where copy_to_urb() has the same shape:

  BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in copy_to_urb.isra.0+0x188/0x430
  Read of size 4294966529 at addr ffffc9000004537f by task vhci_rx/79
   prepare_playback_urb+0x98a/0x1fc0

Truncate an oversized capture packet to the buffer size, and stop
filling a playback URB once it holds a whole buffer. With bytes <=
buffer_bytes the single wrap of hwptr_done and the two-part memcpy()
in both copy paths stay inside the buffer. A device whose packets do
not fit the buffer at all was never going to play correctly anyway.

Reproduced on 7.3-rc7 with a USB/IP device (dummy_hcd cannot carry
isochronous data) advertising a UAC1 endpoint with MaxPacketsOnly and
wMaxPacketSize 1023, and a PCM client using period_size 64, periods 2.
