In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Fix heap overflow in bytes_ext put/get
The ipc_control_data buffer is allocated as kzalloc(max_size), where
max_size covers the entire struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data including its
flexible array payload. However, the bounds checks in bytes_ext_put
and _bytes_ext_get compared user data lengths against max_size
directly, ignoring that cdata->data sits at an offset of
sizeof(struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data) bytes into the allocation.
This allowed writing up to sizeof(struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data) bytes past
the end of the heap buffer from unprivileged userspace via the ALSA TLV
kcontrol interface, and similarly allowed over-reading adjacent heap
data on the get path.
Fix all bounds checks to subtract sizeof(*cdata) from max_size so they
reflect the actual space available at the cdata->data offset. Also fix
the error-path restore in bytes_ext_put which wrote to cdata->data
instead of cdata, causing the same overflow.
