CVE-2026-74497

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp frame size in implicit-feedback mode

snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() scales received sync packet sizes by the sender's stride and stores the result directly in out_packet->packet_size[i]. If a connected USB device sends an oversized sync packet, this frame count can exceed ep->maxframesize.

The un-clamped frame count then propagates to the playback endpoint queue, potentially driving packet transfers beyond the endpoint's hardware frame limits.

Cap the calculated frame count against ep->maxframesize in snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() to prevent oversized packets from entering the playback queue.
