Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ar5523: enable proper endpoint verification

Syzkaller reports [1] hitting a warning about an endpoint in use not having an expected type to it.

Fix the issue by checking for the existence of all proper endpoints with their according types intact.

Sadly, this patch has not been tested on real hardware.
