How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-default-livepatch-devel to version 6.4.0-150700.53.81.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-livepatch-devel package and not the kernel-default-livepatch-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the sample count to the packet payload

isight_packet() takes the frame count from the device iso packet and checks it only against the device claimed iso length.

count = be32_to_cpu(payload-&gt;sample_count);
if (likely(count &lt;= (length - 16) / 4))
    isight_samples(isight, payload-&gt;samples, count);

length is the iso header data_length. It can be up to 0xffff. So the gate allows a count up to about 16379. isight_samples() then copies count frames out of payload->samples into the PCM DMA buffer.

payload->samples holds only 2 * MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET values. The device multiplexes two samples per frame. A count past MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET reads past the payload. A count past the buffer size writes past runtime->dma_area. The smallest PCM buffer is larger than MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET. Bounding the count to MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET keeps both the read and the write in range.

A malicious or faulty Apple iSight on the FireWire bus reaches this during a normal capture.

Add the MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET bound to the gate.
