Descriptions

Memory leak in the airspy_probe function in drivers/media/usb/airspy/airspy.c in the airspy USB driver in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted USB device that emulates many VFL_TYPE_SDR or VFL_TYPE_SUBDEV devices and performs many connect and disconnect operations.

Pérdida de memoria en la función airspy_probe en drivers/media/usb/airspy/airspy.c en el controlador USB airspy en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.7 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de un dispositivo USB manipulado que emula muchos dispositivos VFL_TYPE_SDR o VFL_TYPE_SUBDEV y realiza muchas operaciones de conexión y desconexión.
