CVE-2017-16647

Published: 7 November 2017

drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ASIX Ethernet USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle suspend and resume events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
