Subject: [PATCH 3.2 08/95] USB: serial: safe_serial: fix information leak
 in completion handler

3.2.91-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 8c76d7cd520ebffc1ea9ea0850d87a224a50c7f2 upstream.

Add missing sanity check to the bulk-in completion handler to avoid an
integer underflow that could be triggered by a malicious device.

This avoids leaking up to 56 bytes from after the URB transfer buffer to
user space.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
