Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.10
Description The issue is related to the usb get bos descriptor function in the Linux kernel, which is vulnerable to a buffer out-of-bounds read. This can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted USB device, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unspecified impacts.
