| Vetor | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.8.1
Description
The issue allows local users who are physically proximate for inserting a crafted USB device to gain privileges. This is achieved by leveraging a write-what-where condition that occurs after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference in the tower probe function.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 4.8.1, update to version 4.8.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting physical access to the system to prevent the insertion of crafted USB devices.
