[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix UAC3 cluster descriptor size check

From: Cássio Gabriel

Date: Fri Apr 24 2026 - 17:50:41 EST


The UAC3 cluster descriptor length check in
snd_usb_get_audioformat_uac3()was added to
make sure that the buffer is large enough for
a struct uac3_cluster_header_descriptor before the
returned data is cast and used.

However, the check uses sizeof(cluster), where cluster
is a pointer, not the size of the descriptor header.
This makes the validation depend on the architecture
pointer size and does not match the intended object size.

Check against sizeof(*cluster) instead.
