For Linux kernel versions through 4.13.11, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
cx231xx usb probe function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using specially prepared USB devices with the affected kernel versions until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.DoS
