Linux kernel built with the USB over IP(CONFIG_USBIP_*) support is vulnerable to a buffer overflow issue. It could occur while receiving USB/IP packets, when the size value in the packet is greater actual transfer buffer. A user/process could use this flaw to crash the remote host via kernel memory corruption or potentially execute arbitrary code.
