Linux kernel 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block (URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished, which leads to a stale pointer reference.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-3055 is a legacy Linux kernel flaw that can let a local user crash the kernel under specific USB request handling conditions. The business impact is availability loss, not documented data theft or remote compromise. Exposure is mainly old, unpatched systems still running Linux kernel 2.6.8 through 2.6.14-rc2. Likely exposure is limited to legacy Linux systems running the specified 2.6 kernel range. The source bundle lists multiple distribution advisories, but product/package applicability must be verified against each vendor advisory and installed kernel packages. Treat this as a legacy-system availability risk. It should be remediated during legacy Linux cleanup or routine kernel patching, faster where shared local access or USB exposure exists. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant vendor kernel update for each affected distribution.; Retire or isolate systems that cannot move off affected legacy kernels.; Restrict local shell access on legacy systems until remediation is complete..
