[PATCH] ALSA: firewire-motu: add bounds check in put_user loop for DSP events

From: Junrui Luo
Date: Tue Dec 09 2025 - 00:18:20 EST


In the DSP event handling code, a put_user() loop copies event data.
When the user buffer size is not aligned to 4 bytes, it could overwrite
beyond the buffer boundary.

Fix by adding a bounds check before put_user().
