Subject: [PATCH net] net: usb: pegasus: validate USB endpoints
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:58:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026022347-legibly-attest-cc5c@gregkh> (raw)
The pegasus driver should validate that the device it is probing has the
proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds
to it. If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver
will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.
