From 9fef37d7cf170522fb354d6d0ea6de09b9b16678 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:56:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: ark3116: fix register-accessor error handling The current implementation failed to detect short transfers, something which could lead to bits of the uninitialised heap transfer buffer leaking to user space. Fixes: 149fc791a452 ("USB: ark3116: Setup some basic infrastructure for new ark3116 driver.") Fixes: f4c1e8d597d1 ("USB: ark3116: Make existing functions 16450-aware and add close and release functions.")
