From 5c22837adca7c30b66121cf18ad3e160134268d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:59:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: cdc-wdm: fix race leading leading to memory corruption MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch fixes a race whereby a pointer to a buffer would be overwritten while the buffer was in use leading to a double free and a memory leak. This causes crashes.
