[PATCH] ALSA: usx2y: us144mkii: fix NULL deref on missing interface 0

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 10:04:34 EST


A malicious USB device with the TASCAM US-144MKII device id can have a
configuration containing bInterfaceNumber=1 but no interface 0. USB
configuration descriptors are not required to assign interface numbers
sequentially, so usb_ifnum_to_if(dev, 0) returns will NULL, which will
then be dereferenced directly.

Fix this up by checking the return value properly.
