Added Description

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

usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index

The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores
the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned.

A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed
ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against
unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads
to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP
block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index).

Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent
unsigned comparisons throughout the function.
