This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

USB: serial: visor: handle potential invalid device configuration

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.

If we get an invalid device configuration from a palm 3 type device, we might incorrectly parse things, and we have the potential to crash in "interesting" ways.

Fix this up by verifying the size of the configuration passed to us by the device, and only if it is correct, will we handle it.

Note that this also fixes an information leak of slab data.
