The host_start function in drivers/usb/chipidea/host.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.4 does not properly support a certain non-streaming option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by sending a large amount of network traffic through a USB/Ethernet adapter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel denial-of-service issue. On systems using the ChipIdea USB host driver with affected kernels before 3.7.4, a local user could trigger a crash involving USB/Ethernet traffic. The known impact is availability loss, not data theft or remote takeover. Exposure is most plausible on legacy Linux systems before 3.7.4 that use the ChipIdea USB host controller driver and USB/Ethernet adapters. Modern kernels are unlikely to be affected, but embedded or long-lived appliances may still need checking. Treat this as a targeted legacy availability risk. It is not a current internet-facing emergency based on the supplied evidence, but systems using old kernels in operational environments should be verified and updated through normal vulnerability management. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running Linux kernels older than 3.7.4.; Check whether the ChipIdea USB host driver is present or enabled.; Prioritize kernel updates using vendor-supported packages..
