CVE-2014-3185 describes multiple buffer overflows in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver (drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c) within the Linux kernel prior to version 3.16.2. This vulnerability allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service through memory corruption and system crashes. The attack vector is local with medium complexity, enabling complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.

CVE-2014-3185
Jun 11, 2024Multiple buffer overflows in the command_port_read_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allow physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a bulk response.
