[PATCH 5.3 039/112] USB: legousbtower: fix slab info leak at probe

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 18:06:17 EST


From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1d427be4a39defadda6dd8f4659bc17f7591740f upstream.

Make sure to check for short transfers when retrieving the version
information at probe to avoid leaking uninitialised slab data when
logging it.
