This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by a race codition in the probe function of the legousbtower driver. It re-structures the probe function to only register the interface after successfully reading the board's firmware ID. The probe function does not deregister the usb interface after an error receiving the devices firmware ID. The device file registered (/dev/usb/legousbtower%d) may be read/written globally before the probe function returns. When tower_delete is called in the probe function (after an r/w has been initiated), core dev structures are deleted while the file operation functions are still running. If the 0 address is mappable on the machine, this vulnerability can be used to create a Local Priviege Escalation exploit via a write-what-where condition by remapping dev->interrupt_out_buffer in tower_write. A forged USB device and local program execution would be required for LPE. The USB device would have to delay the control message in tower_probe and accept the control urb in tower_open whilst guest code initiated a write to the device file as tower_delete is called from the error in tower_probe. This bug has existed since 2003. Patch tested by emulated device.
