    drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a USB device without both an     interrupt-in and an interrupt-out endpoint descriptor, related to the cypress_generic_port_probe and     cypress_open functions.
