Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in the command_port_read_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allow physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a bulk response.

Múltiples desbordamientos de buffer en la función command_port_read_callback en drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c en Whiteheat USB Serial Driver en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.16.2 permiten a atacantes físicamente próximos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída del sistema) a través de un dispositivo manipulado que proporciona una cantidad grande de datos (1) EHCI o (2) XHCI asociados con una respuesta en masa.

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way the USB ConnectTech WhiteHEAT serial driver processed completion commands sent via USB Request Blocks buffers. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
