PATCH v2 1/1 usb: Fix null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb()

This patch addresses a null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb() due to an incorrect bounds check in the following:

""

       if (newport > serial->num_ports) {
               dev_err(&port->dev,
                       "%s - port change to invalid port: %i\n",
                       __func__, newport);
               break;
       }

""

The condition doesn't account for the valid range of the serial->port buffer, which is from 0 to serial->num_ports - 1. When newport is equal to serial->num_ports, the assignment of "port" in the following code is out-of-bounds and NULL:

""

       serial_priv->current_port = newport;
       port = serial->port[serial_priv->current_port];

""

The fix checks if newport is greater than or equal to serial->num_ports indicating it is out-of-bounds.

Oh wow, syzbot is now starting to fuzz random USB devices? And this is the only thing it found for this device? That's not all that bad, I expected much worse.

Thanks for the fix. This looks correct, but your patch is whitespace damaged (tabs replaced with spaces) and does not apply.

Can you please fix your mail setup and resend a v3? (Make sure to send it to yourself first.)

When doing so, please use the common patch prefix for this driver:
