In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_akai_output()
snd_usbmidi_akai_output() computes its fill-loop bound
buf_end = ep->max_transfer - MAX_AKAI_SYSEX_LEN - 1;
as a signed int, so a small device-advertised bulk-OUT max_transfer
makes buf_end negative. The loop guard then compares the u32
urb->transfer_buffer_length against that negative int: the usual
arithmetic conversion turns buf_end into a large unsigned value, so the
guard stays true and each iteration keeps appending SysEx framing and
payload bytes past the end of the URB transfer buffer, which is only
max_transfer bytes long.
A USB device that advertises a tiny bulk-OUT endpoint can therefore
trigger an attacker-length- and content-controlled heap out-of-bounds
write when a process writes to the created /dev/snd/midiCD node.
Return early when there is no room for even one SysEx, so the loop is
never entered with a bound that would wrap. The loop is the last
statement of the function, so bailing out is equivalent to it not
running.

A flaw was found in the kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) USB audio driver. An integer overflow vulnerability in the snd_usbmidi_akai_output() function, when processing data from a USB device with a small bulk-OUT endpoint, can lead to an out-of-bounds write in the kernel heap. A local attacker, by writing to a MIDI device node with a specially crafted USB device, could exploit this to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause a denial of service.
