Description:
 The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the Linux kernel
 before 4.3.5 does not properly maintain a hub-interface data structure,
 which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
 (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other
 impact by unplugging a USB hub device.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Alexandru Cornea discovered that a race condition existed in the USB
 hub initialization code in the Linux kernel that could lead to a
 use-after-free. An attacker with physical access could use this to
 cause a denial of service (system crash).
Notes:
 jdstrand> android kernels (flo, goldfish, grouper, maguro, mako and manta) are
  not supported on the Ubuntu Touch 14.10 and earlier preview kernels
 jdstrand> linux-lts-saucy no longer receives official support
 jdstrand> linux-lts-quantal no longer receives official support
