An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.1. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/p54usb.c driver. A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to 5.2.1. The Prism54 USB device driver is susceptible to malicious USB devices. An attacker able to add or remove USB devices could cause a memory corruption or crash leading to a denial of service. Availability is the highest threat to the system.
