Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.2

Description The issue concerns multiple buffer overflows in the command port read callback function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c within the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver. This allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, resulting in memory corruption and system crash. The attack can be carried out via a crafted device that provides a large amount of data associated with a bulk response, specifically through (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.2, update to version 3.16.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to USB devices or disabling the command port read callback function in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver until a patch is applied. Additionally, avoid using crafted devices that could exploit this vulnerability.
