This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: serial: io_ti: 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. >From 654b404f2a222f918af9b0cd18ad469d0c941a8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 17:36:40 +0100 Subject: USB: serial: io_ti: fix information leak in completion handler Add missing sanity check to the bulk-in completion handler to avoid an integer underflow that can be triggered by a malicious device. This avoids leaking 128 kB of memory content from after the URB transfer buffer to user space.
