  Andrey Konovalov discovered that the CDC USB Ethernet driver did not
  properly validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could
  use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

Backport needed given that the parsion function was organises
differently. Checked against the backport done for 3.16-stable. Compile
tested.

Already fixed for Xenial and later series.
