[PATCH 4.4 082/137] cdc-acm: fix NULL pointer reference

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>

commit 29c6dd591bbd592472247441de9fa694acdabae8 upstream.

The union descriptor must be checked. Its usage was conditional
before the parser was introduced. This is important, because
many RNDIS device, which also use the common parser, have
bogus extra descriptors.
