Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 104/170] USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity checking

3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

commit 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd upstream.

Attacks that trick drivers into passing a NULL pointer
to usb_driver_claim_interface() using forged descriptors are
known. This thwarts them by sanity checking.
