Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: usx2y: us144mkii: fix NULL deref on missing interface 0<br />
<br />
A malicious USB device with the TASCAM US-144MKII device id can have a<br />
configuration containing bInterfaceNumber=1 but no interface 0. USB<br />
configuration descriptors are not required to assign interface numbers<br />
sequentially, so usb_ifnum_to_if(dev, 0) returns will NULL, which will<br />
then be dereferenced directly.<br />
<br />
Fix this up by checking the return value properly.
