Release Date: | 2016-02-23 |
The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the Linuxkernel before 4.3.5 does not properly maintain a hub-interface data structure, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a USB hub device.
