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 treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in endpoint.
