Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.6
Description
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drivers/uwb/uwbd.c file. This can be exploited by a local user using a crafted USB device, potentially leading to a denial of service (general protection fault and system crash) or other unspecified impacts.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.6, update to version 4.13.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
