[PATCH 01/15] USB: serial: ark3116: fix register-accessor error handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current implementation failed to detect short transfers, something
which could lead to bits of the uninitialised heap transfer buffer
leaking to user space.

Fixes: 149fc791a452 ("USB: ark3116: Setup some basic infrastructure for
new ark3116 driver.")
Fixes: f4c1e8d597d1 ("USB: ark3116: Make existing functions 16450-aware
and add close and release functions.")
