Description

In change_port_settings in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.3, local users could cause a denial of service by division-by-zero in the serial device layer by trying to set very high baud rates. A division-by-zero in set_termios(), when debugging is enabled, was found in the Linux kernel. When the [io_ti] driver is loaded, a local unprivileged attacker can request incorrect high transfer speed in the change_port_settings() in the drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c so that the divisor value becomes zero and causes a system crash resulting in a denial of service.
