kernel: null pointer dereference in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c driver
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c driver.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Siano Mobile Silicon MDTV receiver driver. An attacker, with physical access and a specially crafted USB device, can exploit this vulnerability, creating a NULL pointer dereference and causing the system to crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability.
Mitigation: As the smsusb module will be auto-loaded when required, its use can be disabled by preventing the module from loading with the following instructions:
# echo "install smsusb /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disabl
