Subject: patch "USB: serial: pl2303: fix NULL-deref at open" added to usb-linus
Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2017 17:42:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483634542158129@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: pl2303: fix NULL-deref at open
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: serial: pl2303: fix NULL-deref at open
Fix NULL-pointer dereference in open() should a type-0 or type-1 device
lack the expected endpoints:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
...
PC is at pl2303_open+0x38/0xec [pl2303]
Note that a missing interrupt-in endpoint would have caused open() to
fail.
