      <title>CVE-2026-98741 — ALSA: ua101: reject mismatched capture/playback packet sizes</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98741</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALSA: ua101: reject mismatched capture/playback packet sizes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;detect_usb_format() cross-checks bSubframeSize, bBitResolution and
tSamFreq between the capture and playback interfaces, but never relates
the two endpoints&amp;#39; wMaxPacketSize and bNrChannels.  Each playback URB
gets a buffer of ua-&amp;gt;playback.max_packet_bytes, while the number of
bytes written into it is derived from the capture stream:
capture_urb_complete() computes frames from the received capture packet
and capture.frame_bytes, and start_usb_playback() and playback_work()
multiply that by playback.frame_bytes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A device declaring a large capture wMaxPacketSize with few capture
channels and a small playback wMaxPacketSize with many playback channels
therefore memset()s and memcpy()s past the end of the playback buffer,
in open() of the PCM node the driver registers during probe.
usb_submit_urb() rejects the over-long iso_frame_desc[0].length with
-EMSGSIZE, but only after the write.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reject such descriptors at probe time.  Genuine UA-101/UA-1000 hardware
declares proportional packet sizes and is unaffected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in start_usb_playback (sound/usb/misc/ua101.c:586)
  Write of size 2048 at addr ffff8881098f3c00 by task exploit/5021
