CVE-2006-2936 Information

Description

The ftdi_sio driver (usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.x up to 2.6.17 and possibly later versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by writing more data to the serial port than the hardware can handle which causes the data to be queued.
