[PATCH 3.4 34/45] USB: serial: fix potential heap buffer overflow

From: Zefan Li
Date: Mon Sep 22 2014 - 22:40:46 EST


From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.104-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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.
