Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.2

Description The issue allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. This is achieved by using a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor.
