    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Mitre">
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usb-audio: Bound MIDI endpoint descriptor scans

snd_usbmidi_get_ms_info() validates the internal MIDIStreaming endpoint
descriptor size before using baAssocJackID[], but the descriptor walker can
still return a class-specific endpoint descriptor whose bLength exceeds the
remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.

That leaves later flexible-array reads bounded by bLength, but not by the
remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.

Stop walking when bLength is zero or
extends past the remaining endpoint-extra scan.

    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Red Hat">
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) USB audio driver. The driver's handling of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) endpoint descriptors did not properly bound scans, allowing it to read beyond the intended memory buffer. This out-of-bounds read could potentially lead to information disclosure or cause system instability.
