CVE-2018-20169
First published: Wed Dec 05 2018(Updated: )
Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper size validation by the __usb_get_extra_descriptor function in drivers/usb/core/usb.c in the USB subsystem. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
