From 67f47e57f9cafe96f755ac5751de5a1060c70fc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:56:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: ark3116: fix register-accessor error handling commit 9fef37d7cf170522fb354d6d0ea6de09b9b16678 upstream. The current implementation failed to detect short transfers, something which could lead to bits of the uninitialised heap transfer buffer leaking to user space. Fixes: 149fc791a452 ("USB: ark3116: Setup some basic infrastructure for new ark3116 driver.") Fixes: f4c1e8d597d1 ("USB: ark3116: Make existing functions 16450-aware and add close and release functions.")
