Subject: USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity checking
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>
commit 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd upstream.
Attacks that trick drivers into passing a NULL pointer
to usb_driver_claim_interface() using forged descriptors are
known. This thwarts them by sanity checking.
