Back in October 2003 Arnaldo commited some fixes prior to 2.6 for some leaking info to userspace in the usb drivers: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@3f986b35LyBKc-OxB8G6k22oOjgYTQ The corresponding changes have not been commited to 2.4, or included in the previous sparse fixes. So I've assigned them CAN-2004-0685 (for 2.4 only, as they were fixed before 2.6.0). Treat as public.
Fixed upstream http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@410582380U3H9KOx8J2YZmMT0bhXQw
