Descriptions
The ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a USB device without both a master and a slave interface.
La función ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data en drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5.1 permite a atacantes físicamente próximos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de sistema) a través de un dispositivo USB sin interfaz para un maestro y un esclavo.
Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the Aiptek Tablet USB device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly sanity check the endpoints reported by the device. An attacker with physical access could cause a denial of service (system crash). Ben Hawkes discovered that the Linux kernel's AIO interface allowed single writes greater than 2GB, which could cause an integer overflow when writing to certain filesystems, socket or device types. A local attacker could this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
