This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: serial: iuu_phoenix: fix memory corruption 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 e7b931bee739e8a77ae216e613d3b99342b6dec0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 11:02:45 +0200 Subject: USB: serial: iuu_phoenix: fix memory corruption The driver would happily overwrite its write buffer with user data in 256 byte increments due to a removed buffer-space sanity check.
