[PATCH 3.13 072/103] USB: serial: fix potential heap buffer overflow

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

 



3.13.11.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5654699fb38512bdbfc0f892ce54fce75bdc2bab upstream.

Make sure to verify the number of ports requested by subdriver to avoid
writing beyond the end of fixed-size array in interface data.

The current usb-serial implementation is limited to eight ports per
interface but failed to verify that the number of ports requested by a
subdriver (which could have been determined from device descriptors) did
not exceed this limit.
