In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb:
dwc3: ep0: fix NULL pointer exception There is no validation of the index
from dwc3_wIndex_to_dep() and we might be referring a non-existing ep and
trigger a NULL pointer exception. In certain configurations we might use
fewer eps and the index might wrongly indicate a larger ep index than
existing. By adding this validation from the patch we can actually report a
wrong index back to the caller. In our usecase we are using a composite
device on an older kernel, but upstream might use this fix also.
Unfortunately, I cannot describe the hardware for others to reproduce the
issue as it is a proprietary implementation. [ 82.958261] Unable to handle
