From 5654699fb38512bdbfc0f892ce54fce75bdc2bab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:55:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix potential heap buffer overflow 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.
