[PATCH] ALSA: asihpi: fix a potential double-fetch bug when copying puhm

From: Meng Xu
Date: Tue Sep 19 2017 - 01:22:16 EST


The hm->h.size is intended to hold the actual size of the hm struct
that is copied from userspace and should always be <= sizeof(*hm).

However, after copy_from_user(hm, puhm, hm->h.size), since userspace
process has full control over the memory region pointed by puhm, it is
possible that the value of hm->h.size is different from what is fetched-in
previously (get_user(hm->h.size, (u16 __user *)puhm)). In other words,
hm->h.size is overriden and the relation between hm->h.size and the hm
struct is broken.

This patch proposes to use a seperate variable, msg_size, to hold
the value of the first fetch and override hm->h.size to msg_size
after the second fetch to maintain the relation.
