Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: atm: cxacru: fix a flaw in existing endpoint checks

Syzbot once again identified a flaw in usb endpoint checking see [1]. This time the issue stems from a commit authored by me (2eabb655a968 (�sb: atm: cxacru: fix endpoint checking in cxacru_bind())).

While using usb_find_common_endpoints() may usually be enough to discard devices with wrong endpoints in this case one needs more than just finding and identifying the sufficient number of endpoints of correct types - one needs to check the endpoint’s address as well.

Since cxacru_bind() fills URBs with CXACRU_EP_CMD address in mind switch the endpoint verification approach to usb_check_XXX_endpoints() instead to fix incomplete ep testing.
