CVE-2016-3136

CVSS v2.0

4.9

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.1
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 without two interrupt-in endpoint descriptors. This is due to a problem in the mct u232 msr to state function.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.1, update to version 4.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
