In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: ctxfi: Fix potential OOB access in audio mixer handling

In the audio mixer handling code of ctxfi driver, the conf field is
used as a kind of loop index, and it's referred in the index callbacks
(amixer_index() and sum_index()).

As spotted recently by fuzzers, the current code causes OOB access at
those functions.
| UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /build/reproducible-path/linux-6.17.8/sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:347:48
| index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'

After the analysis, the cause was found to be the lack of the proper
(re-)initialization of conj field.

This patch addresses those OOB accesses by adding the proper
initializations of the loop indices.
