Descriptions

The default configuration of udev on Linux does not warn the user before enabling additional Human Interface Device (HID) functionality over USB, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary programs via crafted USB data, as demonstrated by keyboard and mouse data sent by malware on a smartphone that the user connected to the computer.

La configuración por defecto de udev en Linux no avisa al usuario antes de activar la funcionalidad Human Interface Device (HID) sobre USB, lo que permite a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario ejecutar programas de su elección a través de datos USB manipulados, como se demostró con datos enviados por teclado y ratón por malware sobre un smartphone que el usuario conectaba con el ordenador.
