commit d683469b3c93d7e2afd39e6e1970f24700eb7a68 upstream. The MIDI input event parser of the LINE6 driver may enter into an endless loop when the unexpected data sequence is given, as it tries to continue the secondary bytes without termination. Also, when the input data is too short, the parser returns a negative error, while the caller doesn't handle it properly. This would lead to the unexpected behavior as well. This patch addresses those issues by checking the return value correctly and handling the one-byte event in the parser properly. The bug was reported by syzkaller.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
