Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.1. drivers/media/usb/gspca/ov519.c allows NULL pointer dereferences in ov511_mode_init_regs and ov518_mode_init_regs when there are zero endpoints, aka CID-998912346c0d.

Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.6.1. El archivo drivers/media/usb/gspca/ov519.c, permite desreferencias del puntero NULL en las funciones ov511_mode_init_regs y ov518_mode_init_regs cuando hay cero endpoints, también se conoce como CID-998912346c0d.

A flaw was found in the way the ov519 driver in the Linux kernel handled certain types of USB descriptors. This flaw allows an attacker with the ability to induce the error conditions to crash the system.
