Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.6

Description The issue is related to the cdc parse cdc header function in drivers/usb/core/message.c, which allows local users to cause a denial of service, including out-of-bounds read and system crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted USB device. This is due to a buffer overflow in memory.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.6, update to version 4.13.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
