NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream realtime-kernel package and not the realtime-kernel package as distributed by RHEL.

The ati_remote2_probe function in drivers/input/misc/ati_remote2.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor.
