CVSS v2.0

4.9

Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.4

Description The issue allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash, via a crafted USB device that lacks endpoints. This is due to a problem in the aiptek probe function in drivers/input/tablet/aiptek.c.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.4, update to version 4.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
