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. This is achieved via a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor, specifically targeting the digi port init function in the Linux kernel.

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 access to USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
