[PATCH 27/35] USB: fix DoS in pwc USB video driver

Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.usb.devel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Oliver Neukum <[email protected]>

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.
