Last modified
CVE-2016-3138 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The acm_probe function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.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 a control and a data endpoint descriptor.. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
