Description Prasad J Pandit 2014-09-12 21:21:55 EDT 
Linux kernel built with the USB Serial Converter support(USB_SERIAL) along with
a USB ConnectTech WhiteHEAT Serial Driver(CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_WHITEHEAT) is
vulnerable to a memory corruption flaw. It could occur when reading completion
commands via USB Request Blocks buffers.

A local user with physical access to the system could use this flaw to corrupt
kernel memory area or crash the system kernel resulting in DoS.

This issue affects the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2. Future kernel
updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 may
address this issue.
