** Changed in: linux-snapdragon (Ubuntu Trusty)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Description changed:

- It was discovered that the Linux kernel failed to take a reference to
- the usb_hub structure or to lock the hub interface while initializing
- USB hubs. As a result, if a hub is plugged in and quickly unplugged
- before the work routine can run, the routine will try to access memory
- that has been deallocated. Or, if the hub is unplugged while the routine
- is running, the memory may be deallocated while it is in active use.
+ The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in the Linux kernel
+ before 4.3.5 does not properly maintain a hub-interface data structure,
+ which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
+ (invalid memory access and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
+ other impact by unplugging a USB hub device.
