CVE-2016-2188
CVSS v2.0
4.9
Média
| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.1
Description
The issue is related to the iowarrior probe function in the Linux kernel, which contains an error in handling USB device descriptors. This can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. The exploitation requires physical proximity to the system and involves crafting a specific value in the USB device descriptor.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.1, update to version 4.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
