[PATCH net] net: usb: kaweth: validate USB endpoints

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2026-02-23 13:00:30
Also in: linux-usb, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The kaweth driver should validate that the device it is probing has the
proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds
to it.  If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver
will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.
