From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 9fef37d7cf170522fb354d6d0ea6de09b9b16678 upstream. The current implementation failed to detect short transfers, something which could lead to bits of the uninitialised heap transfer buffer leaking to user space. Fixes: 149fc791a452 ("USB: ark3116: Setup some basic infrastructure for new ark3116 driver.") Fixes: f4c1e8d597d1 ("USB: ark3116: Make existing functions 16450-aware and add close and release functions.")
