[50/78] ALSA: sound/pci/asihpi: check adapter index in hpi_ioctl

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Mar 21 2011 - 19:26:01 EST


2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4a122c10fbfe9020df469f0f669da129c5757671 upstream.

The user-supplied index into the adapters array needs to be checked, or
an out-of-bounds kernel pointer could be accessed and used, leading to
potentially exploitable memory corruption.
