ALSA: sound/pci/asihpi: check adapter index in hpi_ioctl, CVE-2011-1169
From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com>
CVE-2011-1169
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785331
Released until now with stable versions 2.6.37.5, 2.6.38.1
The user-supplied index into the adapters array needs to be checked, or
an out-of-bounds kernel pointer could be accessed and used, leading to
potentially exploitable memory corruption.
