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

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a system crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted USB device. This is related to the uas driver in the Linux kernel, specifically involving drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h and drivers/usb/storage/uas.c. The vulnerability is caused by an out-of-bounds read 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 that utilize the uas driver until a patch is applied.
