Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

commit 47bb1179 upstream. When initially testing the Camera Terminal Descriptor wTerminalType field (buffer[4]), no mask is used. Later in the function, the MSB is overloaded to store the descriptor subtype, and so a mask of 0x7fff is used to check the type. If a descriptor is specially crafted to set this overloaded bit in the original wTerminalType field, the initial type check will fail (falling through, without adjusting the buffer size), but the later type checks will pass, assuming the buffer has been made suitably large, causing an overflow. Avoid this problem by checking for the MSB in the wTerminalType field. If the bit is set, assume the descriptor is bad, and abort parsing it. Originally reported here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/syzkaller/Ot1fOE6v1d8 A similar (non-compiling) patch was provided at that time.
