This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 15:49:58 +0200 Subject: USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()
Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be triggered by a malicious USB device.
The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors, something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example:
