CVE-2016-3955: Kernel: usbip: buffer overflow by trusting length of incoming packets

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.8

The usbip_recv_xbuff function in drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in a USB/IP packet.
