CVE-2017-16914
Published: 31 January 2018
The "stub_send_ret_submit()" function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_tx.c) in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8, 4.9.71, 4.1.49, and 4.4.107 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that the USB over IP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
