Thanks for filing CVEs for these.
FWIW, link [3] seems to be missing some of the USB bugs since it only includes
bugs seen on the "ci2-upstream-usb" syzbot manager, when in fact USB bugs are
also being reported from the "ci-upstream-kmsan-gce" manager.
Based on my categorization of all open syzbot reports, as of today there are 80
USB-related ones, 52 of which have occurred in the last week. The 52 are listed
at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20190822032841.GC6111@zzz.localdomain/T/#u
These include use-after-frees, out of bounds reads/writes, using uninitialized
memory, general protection faults, etc. More are reported each week, and syzbot
has covered only a tiny percentage of Linux's USB driver code so far.
