snd_info_get_line() wants the len parameter to be one less than the
buffer size, but it isn't:
while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
Not that *any* other caller got it correct either:
sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/core/pcm.c: if (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line)))
sound/core/pcm_memory.c: if (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/drivers/dummy.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ac97/ac97_proc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ca0106/ca0106_proc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ca0106/ca0106_proc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ca0106/ca0106_proc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/emu10k1/emu10k1x.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/emu10k1/emuproc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/emu10k1/emuproc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/hda/hda_eld.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ice1712/pontis.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/ice1712/prodigy_hifi.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {
sound/pci/lola/lola_proc.c: while (!snd_info_get_line(buffer, line, sizeof(line))) {

Oh well. At least these proc files are writable only by root, and the
fix is easy:

ALSA: core: fix buffer overflow in snd_info_get_line()
snd_info_get_line() documents that its last parameter must be one
less than the buffer size, but this API design guarantees that
(literally) every caller gets it wrong.
Just change this parameter to have its obvious meaning.
