Yes, this isn't for the mixer unit but for the processing unit.
They have different definitions.

Now back to the original report: I read the code again but fail to see
where is OOB access.  Let's see the function:

static int uac_mixer_unit_get_channels(struct mixer_build *state,
				       struct uac_mixer_unit_descriptor *desc)
{
	int mu_channels;
	void *c;

	if (desc->bLength < sizeof(*desc))
		return -EINVAL;
	if (!desc->bNrInPins)
		return -EINVAL;
	if (desc->bLength < sizeof(*desc) + desc->bNrInPins)
		return -EINVAL;

	switch (state->mixer->protocol) {
	case UAC_VERSION_1:
	case UAC_VERSION_2:
	default:
		if (desc->bLength < sizeof(*desc) + desc->bNrInPins + 1)
			return 0; /* no bmControls -> skip */
		mu_channels = uac_mixer_unit_bNrChannels(desc);
		break;
	case UAC_VERSION_3:
		mu_channels = get_cluster_channels_v3(state,
				uac3_mixer_unit_wClusterDescrID(desc));
		break;
	}

	if (!mu_channels)
		return 0;

... until this point, mu_channels is calculated but no actual access
happens.  Then:

	c = uac_mixer_unit_bmControls(desc, state->mixer->protocol);

... this returns the *address* of the bmControls bitmap.  At this
point, it's not accessed yet.  Now:

	if (c - (void *)desc + (mu_channels - 1) / 8 >= desc->bLength)
		return 0; /* no bmControls -> skip */

... here we check whether the actual bitmap address plus the max
bitmap size overflows bLength.  And if it overflows, returns 0,
indicating no bitmap available.

So the code doesn't access but checks properly beforehand as far as I
understand.  Is the actual OOB access triggered by some program?


thanks,

Takashi
