  Hello,

Linux kernel built with the ChipIdia Highspeed Dual Role Controller (CONFIG_USB_CHIPIDEA) along with the ChipIdea host controller (CONFIG_USB_CHIPIDEA_HOST) modules, is vulnerable to a kernel crash. It occurs while streaming content over network via USB/Ethernet adapter

A user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in DoS.

Upstream fix:
