Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions through 4.13.11
Description
The issue is related to the
get endpoints function in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c, which can cause a denial of service due to a NULL pointer dereference and system crash when a crafted USB device is used. This could potentially have other unspecified impacts. The issue can be exploited by local users.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions through 4.13.11, update to a version later than 4.13.11 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
