Last modified

CVE-2016-3137 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.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 USB device without both an interrupt-in and an interrupt-out endpoint descriptor, related to the cypress_generic_port_probe and cypress_open functions.. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
