commit ab42b48f32d4c766420c3499ee9c0289b7028182 upstream.

The "auto-attach" handler function `gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` calls
`dma_alloc_coherent()` in a loop to allocate some DMA data buffers, and
also calls it to allocate a buffer for a DMA descriptor chain.  However,
it does not check the return value of any of these calls.  Change
`gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` to return `-ENOMEM` if any of these
`dma_alloc_coherent()` calls fail.  This will result in the comedi core
calling the "detach" handler `gsc_hpdi_detach()` as part of the
clean-up, which will call `gsc_hpdi_free_dma()` to free any allocated
DMA coherent memory buffers.

[ Upstream commit 228241944a48113470d3c3b46c88ba7fbe0a274b ]

Inside a nested 'else' block at the beginning of this function is a
call that assigns 'psta' to the return value of 'rtw_get_stainfo()'.
If 'rtw_get_stainfo()' returns NULL and the flow of control reaches
the 'else if' where 'psta' is dereferenced, then we will dereference
a NULL pointer.

Fix this by checking if 'psta' is not NULL before reading its
'psta-&gt;qos_option' data member.

commit c724f776f048538ecfdf53a52b7a522309f5c504 upstream.

Make sure to use the current alternate setting when verifying the
interface descriptors to avoid binding to an invalid interface.

Failing to do so could cause the driver to misbehave or trigger a WARN()
in usb_submit_urb() that kernels with panic_on_warn set would choke on.

commit b7aa39a2ed0112d07fc277ebd24a08a7b2368ab9 upstream.

The variable skb is released via kfree_skb() when the return value of
_rtl92e_tx is not zero. However, after that, skb is accessed again to
read its length, which may result in a use after free bug. This patch
fixes the bug by moving the release operation to where skb is never
used later.

commit 5618332e5b955b4bff06d0b88146b971c8dd7b32 upstream.

The userspace comedilib function 'get_cmd_generic_timed' fills
the cmd structure with an informed guess and then calls the
function 'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' in this driver repeatedly while
'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' is modifying the cmd struct until it
no longer changes. However, because of rounding errors this never
converged because 'steps = (cmd-&gt;convert_arg * 30) / 1000' and then
back to 'cmd-&gt;convert_arg = (steps * 1000) / 30' won't be the same
because of rounding errors. 'Steps' should only be converted back to
the 'convert_arg' if 'steps' has actually been modified. In addition
the case of steps being 0 wasn't checked which is also now done.

commit 5618332e5b955b4bff06d0b88146b971c8dd7b32 upstream.

The userspace comedilib function 'get_cmd_generic_timed' fills
the cmd structure with an informed guess and then calls the
function 'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' in this driver repeatedly while
'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' is modifying the cmd struct until it
no longer changes. However, because of rounding errors this never
converged because 'steps = (cmd-&gt;convert_arg * 30) / 1000' and then
back to 'cmd-&gt;convert_arg = (steps * 1000) / 30' won't be the same
because of rounding errors. 'Steps' should only be converted back to
the 'convert_arg' if 'steps' has actually been modified. In addition
the case of steps being 0 wasn't checked which is also now done.
