Title:CVE-2017-16911 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium.
Description:The vhci_hcd driver in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8 and 4.4.114 allows allows local attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation requires that a USB device is attached over IP. It was discovered that the USB Virtual Host Controller Interface (VHCI) driver in the Linux kernel contained an information disclosure vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
