From $URL :

Linux kernel built with USB CDC WDM driver is vulnerable to heap buffer overflow flaw. 

An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the kernel or, potentially, elevate their 
privileges.

Please note that a physical access to the system or plugging in random USB device is needed in 
order to exploit this bug.
