CVE-2005-3055

Linux kernel 2.6.8-2.6.14-rc2 - DoS

Title source: llm

Description

Linux kernel 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block (URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished, which leads to a stale pointer reference.
