Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description Fake USB devices can send report descriptors that bypass the input mapping() hook. This causes the pm->input ep82 variable to remain NULL, which can lead to a system crash. This issue is triggered when a device masquerades as a legitimate one to provoke the failure.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
