Subject: patch "USB: uss720: fix NULL-deref at probe" added to usb-linus
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 17:12:18 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1489482738222173@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: uss720: fix NULL-deref at probe
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: uss720: fix NULL-deref at probe
Make sure to check the number of endpoints to avoid dereferencing a
NULL-pointer or accessing memory beyond the endpoint array should a
malicious device lack the expected endpoints.
Note that the endpoint access that causes the NULL-deref is currently
only used for debugging purposes during probe so the oops only happens
when dynamic debugging is enabled. This means the driver could be
rewritten to continue to accept device with only two endpoints, should
such devices exist.
