CVE-2006-2936: High severity linux linux kernel vulnerability
Published Jul 10, 2006
·Updated
The ftdisio driver (usb/serial/ftdisio.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.17, and possibly later versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by writing more data to the serial port than the hardware can handle, which causes the data to be queued.
