Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: atm: cxacru: fix a flaw in existing endpoint checks<br />
<br />
Syzbot once again identified a flaw in usb endpoint checking, see [1].<br />
This time the issue stems from a commit authored by me (2eabb655a968<br />
("usb: atm: cxacru: fix endpoint checking in cxacru_bind()")).<br />
<br />
While using usb_find_common_endpoints() may usually be enough to<br />
discard devices with wrong endpoints, in this case one needs more<br />
than just finding and identifying the sufficient number of endpoints<br />
of correct types - one needs to check the endpoint&#39;s address as well.<br />
<br />
Since cxacru_bind() fills URBs with CXACRU_EP_CMD address in mind,<br />
switch the endpoint verification approach to usb_check_XXX_endpoints()<br />
instead to fix incomplete ep testing.<br />
<br />
