Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()
Date: Thu,  3 Oct 2019 15:49:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191003134958.8692-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be
triggered by a malicious USB device.

The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly
allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors,
something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of
open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example:

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
