[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: ua101: Bound packet copies by the PCM buffer size

From: x8svc

Date: Sun Oct 25 2026 - 20:11:27 EST


copy_capture_data() and copy_playback_data() wrap the ring buffer
position once and split the memcpy() in two at the buffer end, which is
only correct when one packet holds at most buffer_size frames. The
capture packet size is the device's (actual_length up to wMaxPacketSize,
divided by 3 * bNrChannels from its own descriptor), the playback packet
size is taken from the capture packets, and set_stream_hw() lets the
PCM client pick period_bytes_min 1, periods_min 2 and a period time of
1.5 packet intervals: 9 frames at 44.1 kHz high speed, an 18-frame
buffer. A device sending 672-byte mono 24-bit packets delivers 224
frames per packet.

After the first packet buffer_pos is 206 and stays beyond buffer_size.
On the next packet frames1 = buffer_size - buffer_pos wraps and memcpy()
runs away:

period size = 9
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in capture_urb_complete+0x9eb/0xcb0
Read of size 4294966732 at addr ffff88800d73e7e0 by task vhci_rx/81

and for playback:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in playback_work+0x789/0xac0
Read of size 4294966732 at addr ffffc9000002626a by task kworker/0:1H/80

Clamp the capture copy to buffer_size. On playback, copy at most one
buffer and fill the rest of the packet with silence, so the URB length,
the delay accounting and the data sent stay consistent. With that bound
the single wrap and both memcpy() halves stay inside the buffer. A
device whose packets do not fit the buffer never played correctly
anyway.

Reproduced on 7.3-rc7 with a USB/IP device presenting the UA-101
interface layout and a 672-byte isochronous endpoint.
