Descriptions

The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 does not properly maintain a hub-interface data structure, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a USB hub device.

La función hub_activate en drivers/usb/core/hub.c en el Kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.3.5 no mantiene correctamente una estructura de datos hub-interface, lo que permite a atacantes físicamente próximos provocar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria no válido y caída de sistema) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado desenchufando un dispositivo hub USB.

An update that solves 26 vulnerabilities and has 95 fixes is now available. The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 Realtime kernel was updated to 3.12.58 to receive various security and bug fixes.
