    ALSA: usb-audio: fix possible hang and overflow in parse_uac2_sample_rate_range() · 4fa0e81b

    A malicious USB device may feed in carefully crafted min/max/res values,
    so that the inner loop in parse_uac2_sample_rate_range() could run for
    a long time or even never terminate, e.g., given max = INT_MAX.
    
    Also nr_rates could be a large integer, which causes an integer overflow
    in the subsequent call to kmalloc() in parse_audio_format_rates_v2().
    Thus, kmalloc() would allocate a smaller buffer than expected, leading
    to a memory corruption.
    
    To exploit the two vulnerabilities, an attacker needs physical access
    to the machine to plug in a malicious USB device.
    
    This patch makes two changes.
    
    1) The type of "rate" is changed to unsigned int, so that the loop could
       stop once "rate" is larger than INT_MAX.
    
    2) Limit nr_rates to 1024.
