[patch 27/28] USB: fix DoS in pwc USB video driver

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Aug 23 2007 - 18:41:20 EST


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

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

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxx>

the pwc driver has a disconnect method that waits for user space to
close the device. This opens up an opportunity for a DoS attack,
blocking the USB subsystem and making khubd's task busy wait in
kernel space. This patch shifts freeing resources to close if an opened
device is disconnected.
