A malformed or malicious device can advertise a bulk\nOUT endpoint with a wMaxPacketSize of 1 - the USB core only clamps this\nvalue downwards - so ep->max_transfer becomes 1 and the count argument\nbecomes -1.\n\nsnd_rawmidi_transmit() passes the negative count on to\n__snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek(), where \"if (count1 > count) count1 = count\"\nleaves count1 negative; get_aligned_size() keeps it negative for a\nbyte-stream substream, so the following memcpy(buffer, ..., count1) runs\nwith a (size_t)-1 length and writes far past the transfer buffer, which\nwas allocated with usb_alloc_coherent(ep->max_transfer).\n\nThis is the same class of bug that was fixed for snd_usbmidi_akai_output()\nin commit 0970274613fb (\"ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in\nsnd_usbmidi_akai_output()\"); the novation output routine was left\nunguarded.
