Description

The OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 relies on an untrusted length field during packet parsing, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted packet.

Statement

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not affected by this flaw as the OZWPAN USB Host Controller driver (CONFIG_USB_WPAN_HCD) is not enabled in any current shipping kernels.
