The USB-audio mixer code holds a linked list of usb_mixer_elem_list, and several operations are performed for each mixer element. A few of them (snd_usb_mixer_notify_id() and snd_usb_mixer_interrupt_v2()) assume each mixer element being a usb_mixer_elem_info object that is a subclass of usb_mixer_elem_list, cast via container_of() and access it members. This may result in an out-of-bound access when a non-standard list element has been added, as spotted by syzkaller recently. This patch adds a new field, is_std_info, in usb_mixer_elem_list to indicate that the element is the usb_mixer_elem_info type or not, and skip the access to such an element if needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
