This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: safe_serial: fix information leak in completion handler
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: serial: safe_serial: fix information leak in completion handler
Add missing sanity check to the bulk-in completion handler to avoid an
integer underflow that could be triggered by a malicious device.
This avoids leaking up to 56 bytes from after the URB transfer buffer to
user space.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
