In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid potential endless loop in convert_chmap_v3() The convert_chmap_v3() has a loop with its increment size of cs_desc->wLength, but we forgot to validate cs_desc->wLength itself, which may lead to potential endless loop by a malformed descriptor. Add a proper size check to abort the loop for plugging the hole. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) usb-audio subsystem. This vulnerability exists in the `convert_chmap_v3()` function, where the `cs_desc->wLength` value is not properly validated. A malicious actor could provide a specially crafted, malformed USB audio descriptor. This could lead to an endless loop, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.
