Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 13 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU94740

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-20022

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the usb_parse_endpoint() function in drivers/usb/core/config.c when parsing the wMaxPacketSize field. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, this vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the supplier.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.
