[PATCH 2/2] USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after failed setup

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

 



Make sure to reset the USB-console port pointer when console setup fails
in order to avoid having the struct usb_serial be prematurely freed by
the console code when the device is later disconnected.
