[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix out-of-bound error

The snd_usb_copy_string_desc() retrieves the usb string corresponding to
the index number through the usb_string(). The problem is that the
usb_string() returns the length of the string (>= 0) when successful, but
it can also return a negative value about the error case or status of
usb_control_msg().

If iClockSource is '0' as shown below, usb_string() will returns -EINVAL.
This will result in '0' being inserted into buf[-22], and the following
KASAN out-of-bound error message will be output.

AudioControl Interface Descriptor:
  bLength                 8
  bDescriptorType        36
  bDescriptorSubtype     10 (CLOCK_SOURCE)
  bClockID                1
  bmAttributes         0x07 Internal programmable Clock (synced to SOF)
  bmControls           0x07
  Clock Frequency Control (read/write)
  Clock Validity Control (read-only)
  bAssocTerminal          0
  iClockSource            0

To fix it, check usb_string() return value and bail out.
