Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:04:15 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: caiaq: fix out-of-bounds read in the Traktor Kontrol S4 input parser

snd_usb_caiaq_tks4_dispatch() decodes the Traktor Kontrol S4 input
stream in fixed 16-byte (TKS4_MSGBLOCK_SIZE) message blocks. On every
iteration it advances buf and subtracts the block size while looping on
"while (len)".

len is urb->actual_length. That value is supplied by the device and is
not guaranteed to be a multiple of 16. When a final short block leaves
len between 1 and 15, the loop runs once more, reads up to buf[15], and
then does "len -= TKS4_MSGBLOCK_SIZE". As len is unsigned this underflows
to a huge value. The loop then keeps iterating and walking buf far past
the end of the 512-byte ep4_in_buf, reading out of bounds until a bogus
block id happens to be hit.

Iterate only while a full message block is available. This stops the
unsigned underflow and silently drops any trailing partial block, which
carries no complete control value anyway.

The sibling endpoint-4 parsers are not affected. The Traktor Kontrol X1
and Maschine arms in snd_usb_caiaq_ep4_reply_dispatch() floor
urb->actual_length before dispatching.
