What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to enforce a minimum interrupt-out endpoint max packet size of eight bytes for the cypress_m8 USB serial driver. Users should apply the updated kernel version containing this fix. No additional mitigations are specified.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB serial driver for Cypress M8 devices could cause memory corruption or NULL-pointer dereference if a malicious USB device reports an interrupt-out endpoint with a max packet size smaller than eight bytes. This issue has been fixed by ensuring the endpoint size is at least eight bytes.
