Описание
In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink camera USB driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Xirlink camera USB driver 'xirlink-cit' in the Linux kernel. The driver mishandles invalid descriptors leading to a denial-of-service (DoS). This could allow a local attacker with user privilege to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is to skip loading the affected module 'xirlink-cit' onto the system till we have a fix available, this can be done by a blacklist mechanism, this will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time.
