A fix is available that corrects the pointer passed to the USB core by passing the actual allocated usb_ctrlrequest structure instead of the pointer to the pointer field. Users should apply the relevant Linux kernel update containing this fix once available.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's igorplugusb remote control driver was fixed by correcting the control request setup packet handling. The issue involved passing a pointer to a pointer instead of the actual allocated usb_ctrlrequest structure to the USB core, causing invalid USB control request interpretations and warnings.
