Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.10

Description The issue is related to the usb get bos descriptor function in the Linux kernel, which is vulnerable to a buffer out-of-bounds read. This can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted USB device, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unspecified impacts.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.10, update to version 4.13.10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
