+Description: 
+ The disconnect method in the Philips USB Webcam (pwc) driver in Linux kernel
+ 2.6.x before 2.6.22.6 "relies on user space to close the device," which
+ allows user-assisted local attackers to cause a denial of service (USB
+ subsystem hang and CPU consumption in khubd) by not closing the device after
+ the disconnect is invoked. NOTE: this rarely crosses privilege boundaries,
+ unless the attacker can convince the victim to unplug the affected device.
