It means that the kernel received two endpoint descriptors from the USB
device containing invalid values.

For devices communicating at High Speed (480 Mb/s) like yours, the
wMaxPacketSize field in the endpoint descriptor for a Bulk endpoint is
required to contain the value 512, but your device sent a couple of Bulk
endpoint descriptors in which wMaxPacketSize was set to 8. You will see
the invalid values if you look at the output from "lsusb -v" for the
device.

This message is only a warning; the kernel will try to communicate with
the device regardless. But since that the device is obviously faulty,
the communication might not work.

The only way to fix this is to change the device's firmware.
