Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: USB: Fix wrong-direction WARNING in plusb.c<br />
<br />
The syzbot fuzzer detected a bug in the plusb network driver: A<br />
zero-length control-OUT transfer was treated as a read instead of a<br />
write. In modern kernels this error provokes a WARNING:<br />
<br />
usb 1-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80000280 doesn&#39;t match bRequestType c0<br />

The fix is to call usbnet_write_cmd() instead of usbnet_read_cmd() and<br />
remove the USB_DIR_IN flag.
