Description
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is validated.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of i8042 serial ports. An attacker could cause a kernel panic if they are able to add and remove devices as the module is loaded.
