Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors
Syzbot once again hit uninit value in asix driver. The problem still the
same -- asix_read_cmd() reads less bytes, than was requested by caller.
Since all read requests are performed via asix_read_cmd() let's catch
usb related error there and add __must_check notation to be sure all
callers actually check return value.
So, this patch adds sanity check inside asix_read_cmd(), that simply
checks if bytes read are not less, than was requested and adds missing
error handling of asix_read_cmd() all across the driver code.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.9 < 5.15.33)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.16.19)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.17 < 5.17.2)
