CVE-2017-17558
Published: 12 December 2017
The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.
From the Ubuntu security team
It was discovered that the core USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not validate the number of configurations and interfaces in a device. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
