Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usx2y: us144mkii: fix NULL deref on missing interface 0
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 16:01:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026040955-fall-gaining-e338@gregkh> (raw)
A malicious USB device with the TASCAM US-144MKII device id can have a
configuration containing bInterfaceNumber=1 but no interface 0. USB
configuration descriptors are not required to assign interface numbers
sequentially, so usb_ifnum_to_if(dev, 0) returns will NULL, which will
then be dereferenced directly.
Fix this up by checking the return value properly.
