Description Martin Prpič 2014-11-14 09:02:18 EST 
Linux kernel built with TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB driver support is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow flaw.

A local user with write access to the corresponding device could use this flaw to crash the kernel or, potentially, elevate their privileges.

Please note that in order to exploit this issue the TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB device needs to be plugged in on the system.
