[PATCH 3.2 081/199] USB: serial: oti6858: fix NULL-deref at open

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

 



3.2.87-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5afeef2366db14587b65558bbfd5a067542e07fb upstream.

Fix NULL-pointer dereference in open() should the device lack the
expected endpoints:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
...
PC is at oti6858_open+0x30/0x1d0 [oti6858]

Note that a missing interrupt-in endpoint would have caused open() to
fail.

Fixes: 49cdee0ed0fc ("USB: oti6858 usb-serial driver (in Nokia CA-42
cable)")

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: add this check to the existing
 usb_serial_driver::attach implementation]
