ALSA: usb-audio: fix possible hang and overflow in parse_uac2_sample_rate_range()
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.
