patch "USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()" added to usb-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()

to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()

Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be triggered by a malicious USB device.

The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors, something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example:
