Subject: CVE-2021-47270: usb: fix various gadgets null ptr deref on 10gbps cabling.

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: fix various gadgets null ptr deref on 10gbps cabling.

This avoids a null pointer dereference in
f_{ecm,eem,hid,loopback,printer,rndis,serial,sourcesink,subset,tcm}
by simply reusing the 5gbps config for 10gbps.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47270 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
