ath10k: Fix a NULL-ptr-deref bug in ath10k_usb_alloc_urb_from_pipe
commit bfd6e6e6c5d2ee43a3d9902b36e01fc7527ebb27 upstream. The `ar_usb` field of `ath10k_usb_pipe_usb_pipe` objects are initialized to point to the containing `ath10k_usb` object according to endpoint descriptors read from the device side, as shown below in `ath10k_usb_setup_pipe_resources`: for (i = 0; i < iface_desc->desc.bNumEndpoints; ++i) { endpoint = &iface_desc->endpoint[i].desc; // get the address from endpoint descriptor pipe_num = ath10k_usb_get_logical_pipe_num(ar_usb, endpoint->bEndpointAddress, &urbcount); ...... // select the pipe object pipe = &ar_usb->pipes[pipe_num]; // initialize the ar_usb field pipe->ar_usb = ar_usb; } The driver assumes that the addresses reported in endpoint descriptors from device side to be complete. If a device is malicious and does not report complete addresses, it may trigger NULL-ptr-deref `ath10k_usb_alloc_urb_from_pipe` and `ath10k_usb_free_urb_to_pipe`. This patch fixes the bug by preventing potential NULL-ptr-deref.
