Subject: [PATCH 01/11] USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix NULL-deref on early status
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:11:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021141154.2324793-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021141154.2324793-1-johan@kernel.org>
The driver submits the interrupt-in URB during probe or on first port
open, which on completion may submit the bulk-in URB before all ports
have been opened and their waitqueues have been initialised.
If a (malicious) device sends a status message for a port that has not
yet been opened this may lead to a NULL-pointer dereference in the
bulk-in completion handler when attempting to wakeup blocked tasks.
Move waitqueue initialisation from open() to port_probe() to address
this.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
