This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: yurex: fix out-of-bounds uaccess in read handler
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: Jann Horn jannh@google.com Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2018 17:12:56 +0200 Subject: USB: yurex: fix out-of-bounds uaccess in read handler
In general, accessing userspace memory beyond the length of the supplied buffer in VFS read/write handlers can lead to both kernel memory corruption (via kernel_read()/kernel_write(), which can e.g. be triggered via sys_splice()) and privilege escalation inside userspace.
Fix it by using simple_read_from_buffer() instead of custom logic.
