CVE-2022-48701 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel ALSA USB-audio subsystem. The flaw occurs in __snd_usb_parse_audio_interface() while parsing an interface descriptor for a USB audio device reporting USB ID 0x04fa:0x4201 when the device exposes fewer than four interfaces. The vulnerable code did not validate the interface count before accessing interface data. The fix adds an interface-count check.
