[PATCH 3.12 49/98] USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity checking

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd upstream.

Attacks that trick drivers into passing a NULL pointer
to usb_driver_claim_interface() using forged descriptors are
known. This thwarts them by sanity checking.
