Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: safe_serial: fix memory corruption with small endpoint
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 16:22:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522142218.947657-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Make sure that the bulk-out buffer size is at least eight bytes to avoid
user-controlled slab corruption in "safe" mode should a malicious device
report a smaller size.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
