The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.

Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate meta block groups. An attacker with physical
access could use this to specially craft an ext4 image that causes a denial
of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10208)
It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in
the ACPI implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory addresses).

CVE-2017-17558 kernel: Unallocated memory access by malicious USB device via bNumInterfaces overflow
The usb_destroy_configuration() function in 'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (due to out-of-bounds write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
