The USB over IP kernel driver allows a server system to export its USB devices to a client system over an IP network via the USB over IP protocol. Exportable USB devices include physical devices and software entities that are created on the server using the USB gadget sub-system. This talk will cover a major bug related to USB over IP in the Linux kernel that was recently uncovered; it created some significant security issues but was resolved with help from the kernel community. Shuah will share the nature of the security problems and how they have been addressed. She will share the lessons learned and the steps she is taking to avoid such issues in the future.
