[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid potential endless loop in convert_chmap_v3()

From: Takashi Iwai

Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 11:25:16 EST


The convert_chmap_v3() has a loop with its increment size of
cs_len->wLength, but we forgot to validate cs_desc->wLength itself,
which may lead to potential endless loop by a malformed descriptor.

Add a proper size check to abort the loop for plugging the hole.

Fixes: ecfd41166b72 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Validate UAC3 cluster segment descriptors")
