sound/oss: remove offset from load_patch callbacks
Was: [PATCH] sound/oss/midi_synth: prevent underflow, use of uninitialized value, and signedness issue The offset passed to midi_synth_load_patch() can be essentially arbitrary. If it's greater than the header length, this will result in a copy_from_user(dst, src, negative_val). While this will just return -EFAULT on x86, on other architectures this may cause memory corruption. Additionally, the length field of the sysex_info structure may not be initialized prior to its use. Finally, a signed comparison may result in an unintentionally large loop. On suggestion by Takashi Iwai, version two removes the offset argument from the load_patch callbacks entirely, which also resolves similar issues in opl3. Compile tested only. v3 adjusts comments and hopefully gets copy offsets right. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
