Title
ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix potential RX buffer overflow
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix potential RX buffer overflow
If an event caused firmware to return invalid RX size for
LARGE_CONFIG_GET, memcpy_fromio() could end up copying too many bytes.
Fix by utilizing min_t().
