USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write() Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be triggered by a malicious USB device. The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors, something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ... RIP: 0010:usb_clear_halt+0x11/0xc0 ...
