SubjectRe: [PATCH] usb: core: Null deref in kernel with USB webcams.
Sorry I wanted to include a pastebin or link but was trying to follow maillist
guidelines and not include links or exceed wrap guidelines. Full contents:
https://paste.centos.org/view/3746bc40

Yes I understand the return dodges the config dereference.

Original line usb.c:281 is the original error:

280| for (i = 0; i < config->desc.bNumInterfaces; i++)
281| if (config->interface[i]->altsetting[0]
282| .desc.bInterfaceNumber == ifnum)
283| return config->interface[i];

Thanks
John
