In\ncertain configurations we might use fewer eps and the index might wrongly\nindicate a larger ep index than existing.\n\nBy adding this validation from the patch we can actually report a wrong\nindex back to the caller.\n\nIn our usecase we are using a composite device on an older kernel, but\nupstream might use this fix also. Unfortunately, I cannot describe the\nhardware for others to reproduce the issue as it is a proprietary\nimplementation.\n\n[   82.958261] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a4\n[   82.966891] Mem abort info:\n[   82.969663]   ESR = 0x96000006\n[   82.972703]   Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits\n[   82.978603]   SET = 0, FnV = 0\n[   82.981642]   EA = 0, S1PTW = 0\n[   82.984765] Data abort info:\n[   82.987631]   ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006\n[   82.991449]   CM = 0, WnR = 0\n[   82.994409] user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = 00000000c6210ccc\n[   83.000999] [00000000000000a4] pgd=0000000053aa5003, pud=0000000053aa5003, pmd=0000000000000000\n[   83.009685] Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n[   83.026433] Process irq/62-dwc3 (pid: 303, stack limit = 0x000000003985154c)\n[   83.033470] CPU: 0 PID: 303 Comm: irq/62-dwc3 Not tainted 4.19.124 #1\n[   83.044836] pstate: 60000085 (nZCv daIf -PAN -UAO)\n[   83.049628] pc : dwc3_ep0_handle_feature+0x414/0x43c\n[   83.054558] lr : dwc3_ep0_interrupt+0x3b4/0xc94\n\n...\n\n[   83.141788] Call trace:\n[   83.144227]  dwc3_ep0_handle_feature+0x414/0x43c\n[   83.148823]  dwc3_ep0_interrupt+0x3b4/0xc94\n[   83.181546] ---[ end trace aac6b5267d84c32f ]---","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/366369b89bedd59b1425386e8d4a18a466e420e4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/470403639114895e2697c766fbe17be8d0e9b67a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60156089f07e724e4dc8483702d5e1ede4522749","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/788755756dd4a6aba1de479fec20b0fa600e7f19","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96b74a99d360235c24052f1d060e64ac53f43528"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:50:30.954589733+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-47269","score":0.0026,"percentile":0.17807,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
