In Ubuntu's USN-219-1:

Harald Welte discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the USB
devio driver. A local attacker could exploit this by sending an "USB
Request Block" (URB) and terminating the sending process before the
arrival of the answer, which left an invalid pointer and caused a
kernel crash. (CVE-2005-3055)
