Re: [PATCH] usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix NULL pointer deference

[James <james@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi greg, 

	Many appologies, I did not see your patch attached/forgot it 
existed when I fixed this yesterday. I created this patch based on your
feedback from my original email on September 2nd. I have tested 
this patch with an emulated device and it fixes the vulnerability.
Again, applogies for the long delay and patch confusion.

Best regards,

James
