Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: dice: fix buffer overflow in detect_stream_formats() The function detect_stream_formats() reads the stream_count value directly from a FireWire device without validating it. This can lead to out-of-bounds writes when a malicious device provides a stream_count value greater than MAX_STREAMS. Fix by applying the same validation to both TX and RX stream counts in detect_stream_formats().
Отчет
This patch fixes a kernel buffer overflow in ALSA FireWire DICE stream format detection by clamping device-provided TX/RX stream_count to MAX_STREAMS. A malicious or buggy FireWire device could otherwise trigger out-of-bounds writes via read_stream_entries(), leading to crashes and potentially memory corruption. The attack surface is physical (device-to-host).
