Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix snd-usb-audio in 32-bit compat environment
I'm getting oopses with snd-usb-audio in 32-bit compat environments:
control_compat.c:get_ctl_type() doesn't initialize 'info', so
'itemlist[uinfo->value.enumerated.item]' in
usbmixer.c:mixer_ctl_selector_info() might access random memory (The 'if
((int)uinfo->value.enumerated.item >= cval->max)' doesn't fix all problems
because of the unsigned -> signed conversion.)
