Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: opticon: fix control-message timeouts
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2020 18:22:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200113172213.30869-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

The driver was issuing synchronous uninterruptible control requests
without using a timeout. This could lead to the driver hanging
on open() or tiocmset() due to a malfunctioning (or malicious) device
until the device is physically disconnected.

The USB upper limit of five seconds per request should be more than
enough.

Fixes: 309a057932ab ("USB: opticon: add rts and cts support")
Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org>     # 2.6.39

Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

This was reported to me off-list to be an issue with some opticon
devices. Let's address the obvious bug while waiting for a bug report
to be sent to the list.
