CVE-2016-2186

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.5.1

Description The issue allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. This is achieved by using a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.5.1, update to version 4.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
