**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 4.2.4 **Description** The issue allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. This is due to a flaw in the `drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c` file. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.2.4, update to version 4.2.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
