[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: oss: Avoid potential buffer overflows

syzkaller reported an invalid access in PCM OSS read, and this seems
to be an overflow of the internal buffer allocated for a plugin.
Since the rate plugin adjusts its transfer size dynamically, the
calculation for the chained plugin might be bigger than the given
buffer size in some extreme cases, which lead to such an buffer
overflow as caught by KASAN.

Fix it by limiting the max transfer size properly by checking against
the destination size in each plugin transfer callback.
