USB lacks DMA right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMA_attack

USB lacks DMA but that's basically a moot point. There are so many USB drivers that aren't well tested or even well written that the attack surface is just huge. You might as well have DMA from USB, wouldn't really make matters that much worse.
