Descriptions

The mct_u232_msr_to_state function in drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted USB device without two interrupt-in endpoint descriptors.

La función mct_u232_msr_to_state en drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.1 permite a atacantes físicamente próximos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de sistema) a través de un dispositivo USB manipulado sin dos descriptores de dispositivo final interrupt-in.

Linux kernel version 3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 crashes on presentation of a buggy USB device requiring the mct_u232_m8 driver.
