From 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 13:26:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity checking 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.
