{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98741","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ALSA: ua101: reject mismatched capture/playback packet sizes  detect_usb_format() cross-checks bSubframeSize, bBitResolution and tSamFreq between the capture and playback interfaces, but never relates the two endpoints' wMaxPacketSize and bNrChannels.  Each playback URB gets a buffer of ua-\u003eplayback.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.  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.  Reject such descriptors at probe time.  Genuine UA-101/UA-1000 hardware declares proportional packet sizes and is unaffected.
