4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 48a4ff1c7bb5a32d2e396b03132d20d552c0eca7 upstream.
A malicious USB device with crafted descriptors can cause the kernel
to access unallocated memory by setting the bNumInterfaces value too
high in a configuration descriptor. Although the value is adjusted
during parsing, this adjustment is skipped in one of the error return
paths.
This patch prevents the problem by setting bNumInterfaces to 0
initially. The existing code already sets it to the proper value
after parsing is complete.
