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

 



From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 9c6ba456711687b794dcf285856fc14e2c76074f ]

The powermate driver expects at least one valid USB endpoint in its
probe function.  If given malicious descriptors that specify 0 for
the number of endpoints, it will crash.  Validate the number of
endpoints on the interface before using them.

The full report for this issue can be found here:
