Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
USB: usbtmc: Use usb_bulk_msg_killable() with user-specified timeouts<br />
<br />
The usbtmc driver accepts timeout values specified by the user in an<br />
ioctl command, and uses these timeouts for some usb_bulk_msg() calls.<br />
Since the user can specify arbitrarily long timeouts and<br />
usb_bulk_msg() uses unkillable waits, call usb_bulk_msg_killable()<br />
instead to avoid the possibility of the user hanging a kernel thread<br />
indefinitely.
