Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential out-of-bound access at parsing SU
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit f658f17b5e0e339935dca23e77e0f3cad591926b upstream.
The usb-audio driver may trigger an out-of-bound access at parsing a
malformed selector unit, as it checks the header length only after
evaluating bNrInPins field, which can be already above the given
length. Fix it by adding the length check beforehand.
