Subject: [PATCH] HID: zeroplus: validate output report details

commit 78214e81a1bf43740ce89bb5efda78eac2f8ef83 upstream.

The zeroplus HID driver was not checking the size of allocated values
in fields it used. A HID device could send a malicious output report
that would cause the driver to write beyond the output report allocation
during initialization, causing a heap overflow:

[ 1442.728680] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0c12, idProduct=0005
...
[ 1466.243173] BUG kmalloc-192 (Tainted: G        W   ): Redzone overwritten

CVE-2013-2889
