What is CVE-2015-7566?

The clie_5_attach function in the Linux Kernel’s USB serial driver is susceptible to a denial of service condition. This vulnerability arises when a physically proximate attacker connects a specially crafted USB device that lacks a bulk-out endpoint. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, potentially crashing the system and causing instability. Immediate remediation is advised to prevent potential exploitation.
