In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: usb: pegasus: enable basic endpoint checking

pegasusprobe() fills URBs with hardcoded endpoint pipes without verifying the endpoint descriptors:

- usbrcvbulkpipe(dev, 1) for RX data - usbsndbulkpipe(dev, 2) for TX data - usbrcvintpipe(dev, 3) for status interrupts

A malformed USB device can present these endpoints with transfer types that differ from what the driver assumes.

Add a pegasususbep enum for endpoint numbers, replacing magic constants throughout. Add usbcheckbulkendpoints() and usbcheckintendpoints() calls before any resource allocation to verify endpoint types before use, rejecting devices with mismatched descriptors at probe time, and avoid triggering assertion.

Similar fix to - commit 90b7f2961798 ("net: usb: rtl8150: enable basic endpoint checking") - commit 9e7021d2aeae ("net: usb: catc: enable basic endpoint checking")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: usb: pegasus: validate USB endpoints

The pegasus driver should validate that the device it is probing has the proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds to it. If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.
