CVE-2006-2936

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions usbvision-kmp-default versions (affected versions not specified) usbvision-kmp-debug versions (affected versions not specified) usbvision-kmp-bigsmp versions (affected versions not specified) usbvision-kmp-xenpae versions (affected versions not specified) usbvision-kmp-xen versions (affected versions not specified) Linux kernel versions 2.6.x up to 2.6.17

Description The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the usbvision-kmp packages of the openSUSE operating system, which can lead to a disruption of protected information availability. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. Additionally, a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ftdi sio driver allows local users to cause a denial of service by overloading the serial port with more data than the hardware can handle, resulting in memory consumption.

Recommendations For usbvision-kmp-default, consider disabling the vulnerable components until a patch is available. For usbvision-kmp-debug, restrict access to the vulnerable modules to minimize the risk of exploitation. For usbvision-kmp-bigsmp, avoid using the vulnerable functions until the issue is resolved. For usbvision-kmp-xenpae, consider applying configuration changes to mitigate the risk. For usbvision-kmp-xen, restrict access to the vulnerable parameters to minimize the risk of exploitation. For Linux kernel versions 2.6.x up to 2.6.17, update to a version later than 2.6.17 to resolve the issue.
