Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-416
Summary: The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup.
Commit Message: USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after failed setup

Make sure to reset the USB-console port pointer when console setup fails
in order to avoid having the struct usb_serial be prematurely freed by
the console code when the device is later disconnected.

Fixes: 73e487fdb75f ("[PATCH] USB console: fix disconnection issues")
