  In particular, the CDC Call Management Descriptor has its length
  declared too short (4 instead of 5), and the following CDC Union
  Descriptor is therefore unreachable.

  *** Code problems:

  1. The ~while (buflen > 0)~ loop that parses the interface aux data
     does not perform correct boundary checking.  In the above case,
     ~call_interface_num = buffer[4];~ accesses outside of the
     (declared) descriptor content.
  2. If a union header is missing, there is no code path that checks
     whether the ~data_interface~ (resolved from ~call_interface_num~)
     actually exists.  Later ~if
     (data_interface->cur_altsetting->desc.bInterfaceClass~ dereferences
     ~data_interface~.
