Subject: Input: powermate - fix oops with malicious USB descriptors
From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org>
commit 9c6ba456711687b794dcf285856fc14e2c76074f upstream.
The powermate driver expects at least one valid USB endpoint in its
probe function. If given malicious descriptors that specify 0 for
the number of endpoints, it will crash. Validate the number of
endpoints on the interface before using them.
The full report for this issue can be found here:
