[PATCH 4.8 051/138] USB: serial: fix potential NULL-dereference at probe

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

 



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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 126d26f66d9890a69158812a6caa248c05359daa upstream.

Make sure we have at least one port before attempting to register a
console.

Currently, at least one driver binds to a "dummy" interface and requests
zero ports for it. Should such an interface also lack endpoints, we get
a NULL-deref during probe.
