Descriptions

snd_ctl_elem_add in sound/core/control.c in the Linux kernel through 5.6.3 has a count=info->owner line, which later affects a private_size*count multiplication for unspecified "interesting side effects." NOTE: kernel engineers dispute this finding, because it could be relevant only if new callers were added that were unfamiliar with the misuse of the info->owner field to represent data unrelated to the "owner" concept. The existing callers, SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD and SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE, have been designed to misuse the info->owner field in a safe way

** EN DISPUTA ** La función snd_ctl_elem_add en el archivo sound/core/control.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.6.3, presenta un error de tipografía de count=info-)owner, que se maneja inapropiadamente en la multiplicación private_size*count. NOTA: los ingenieros de kernel disputan este hallazgo, porque podría ser relevante sólo si se agregaran nuevos llamadores que no estuvieran familiarizados con el mal uso del campo info->owner para representar datos no relacionados con el concepto de "owner". Los llamadores existentes, SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD y SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE, han sido diseñados para usar indebidamente el campo info->owner de una manera segura.
