CVE-2017-16911

Published: 31 January 2018

The vhci_hcd driver in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8 and 4.4.114 allows allows local attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation requires that a USB device is attached over IP.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that the USB Virtual Host Controller Interface (VHCI) driver in the Linux kernel contained an information disclosure vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
