[PATCH 1/2] USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free on disconnect

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

 



A clean-up patch removing removing two redundant NULL-checks from the
console disconnect handler inadvertently also removed a third check.
This could lead to the struct usb_serial being prematurely freed by the
console code when a driver accepts but does not register any ports for
an interface which also lacks endpoint descriptors.
