3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Erick Reyes <erickreyes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 4adb7bcbcb69 ("ALSA: core: Use seq_file for text proc file
reads") heavily refactored ALSA procfs and fixed the overflow as
a side-effect, so this fix only applies to kernels < 4.2 and
there is no upstream equivalent
snd_info_entry_write() resizes the buffer with an unsigned long
size argument that gets truncated because resize_info_buffer()
takes the size parameter as an unsigned int. On 64-bit kernels,
this causes the following copy_to_user() to write out-of-bounds
if (pos + count) can't be represented by an unsigned int.
