usb: iowarrior: don't trust report_size for buffer size
If the iowarrior devices in this case statement support more than 8 bytes per report, it is possible to write past the end of a kernel heap allocation. This will probably never be possible, but change the allocation to be more defensive anyway. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees.cook@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
