commit 1568c58d11a7c851bd09341aeefd6a1c308ac40d upstream. The driver receives the active port number from the device, but never made sure that the port number was valid. This could lead to a NULL-pointer dereference or memory corruption in case a device sends data for an invalid port.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
