| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.3.5
Description
The issue is related to the
hub activate function in the Linux kernel, which does not properly maintain a hub-interface data structure. This allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in invalid memory access and a system crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts by unplugging a USB hub device.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.3.5, update to version 4.3.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to USB hub devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
