So you mean:
[1] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in mceusb_dev_printdata
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=df1efbbf75149f5853ecff1938ffd3134f269119
[2] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in mceusb_dev_recv
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=50d4123e6132c9563297ecad0479eaad7480c172

1) So these bugs are not crashes -- shift out of bounds is the error.
2) The "bug" is that garbage will be printed to the kernel log when
   garbage data is received. I'm not sure it is a bug.
2) The data comes from the usb device, not user space
3) They are both fixed
4) They are in different parts of the code

Please send a patch which shows this is the case.
