patch "USB: yurex: fix out-of-bounds uaccess in read handler" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    USB: yurex: fix out-of-bounds uaccess in read handler

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: yurex: fix out-of-bounds uaccess in read handler

In general, accessing userspace memory beyond the length of the supplied
buffer in VFS read/write handlers can lead to both kernel memory corruption
(via kernel_read()/kernel_write(), which can e.g. be triggered via
sys_splice()) and privilege escalation inside userspace.

Fix it by using simple_read_from_buffer() instead of custom logic.
