CVE-2013-1860

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.8.4

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the wdm in callback function. This can be exploited by physically proximate attackers using a crafted cdc-wdm USB device, potentially leading to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.8.4, update to version 3.8.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of cdc-wdm USB devices until a patch is applied.
