Subject: [PATCH] sound: Prevent buffer overflow in OSS load_mixer_volumes, CVE-2010-4527

CVE-2010-4527

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737073

The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow.  Because the provided "name" argument isn't
guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels().  In
addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.

Applied and pushed to Hardy master-next

Note: Does not apply here, just a note that audio changes may need to go into
l-u-m as well as that is where Hardy's alsa driver comes from.
