4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>
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.
