The descriptor is used by USB devices to indicate how many connections it possesses and whether it has an external power supply. Very long descriptors cause buffer overflows on the PS3, allowing code to be injected onto the stack and executed. In order to circumvent the copy protection mechanism, the simulated USB hub proceeds through a number of steps and emulates connecting various devices in a specific sequence. In doing so, it triggers a series of buffer overflows allowing it to write various pieces of data and code to the stack. The final step is to execute the code."

Well, there's one person considering it.
