Subject: [PATCH 4.14 014/178] USB: core: prevent malicious bNumInterfaces overflow

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

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

From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

commit 48a4ff1c7bb5a32d2e396b03132d20d552c0eca7 upstream.

A malicious USB device with crafted descriptors can cause the kernel
to access unallocated memory by setting the bNumInterfaces value too
high in a configuration descriptor.  Although the value is adjusted
during parsing, this adjustment is skipped in one of the error return
paths.

This patch prevents the problem by setting bNumInterfaces to 0
initially.  The existing code already sets it to the proper value
after parsing is complete.
