Last modified

CVE-2017-17558 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
