In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA:
pcm: oss: Limit the period size to 16MB Set the practical limit to the
period size (the fragment shift in OSS) instead of a full 31bit; a too
large value could lead to the exhaust of memory as we allocate temporary
buffers of the period size, too. As of this patch, we set to 16MB limit,
which should cover all use cases.
