Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential out-of-bound accesses for Extigy and Mbox devices A bogus device can provide a bNumConfigurations value that exceeds the initial value used in usb_get_configuration for allocating dev->config. This can lead to out-of-bounds accesses later, e.g. in usb_destroy_configuration.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.12 < 4.19.325) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.287) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.231) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.174) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.120) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.64) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.11.11) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.12 < 6.12.2) • debian debian linux 11.0
