Subject: [PATCH 02/11] USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix potential fifo corruption
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:11:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021141154.2324793-3-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021141154.2324793-1-johan@kernel.org>
The device buffer size is determined during open() and the driver
allocates a TX FIFO of corresponding size.
Add the missing sanity check to prevent memory corruption in case a
malicious device sends a second open response with a different buffer
size.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a related fix.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
