kernel: mishandling recursion in sound/usb/mixer.c leading to kernel stack exhaustion and crash
check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 mishandles recursion, leading to kernel stack exhaustion.
A flaw was found in the sound mixer handling of the Linux kernel. An attacker with physical access able to insert a specially crafted USB device can cause a recursive loop which continues to consume the reserved stack space leading to a system panic. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Mitigation: As the snd_usb_audio module will be auto-loaded when a usb device is hot plugged, the module can be prevented by loading with the following instructions:
# echo "install snd_usb_audio /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-snd-usb-audio.co

CVE-2019-15118 kernel: mishandling recursion in sound/usb/mixer.c leading to kernel stack exhaustion and crash
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of Mixer handling. An attacker with physical access can insert a maliciously crafted USB device that can convince the kernels USB mixing hardware to enter a recursive loop which continues to consume the reserved stack space for the thread and panic the system.
