In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:USB: hub: Ignore non-compliant devices with too many configs or interfacesRobert Morris created a test program which can cause
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() to dereference a NULL or inappropriate
pointer:Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

 usb_probe_device+0x36/0xd0The cause of this error is that the device has two interfaces, and the
hub driver binds to interface 1 instead of interface 0, which is where
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() looks.We can prevent the problem from occurring by refusing to accept hub
devices that violate the USB spec by having more than one
configuration or interface.
