Description Prasad Pandit 2013-08-23 13:50:33 UTC

Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device bus (CONFIG_HID) along with
the HID Sensors framework support(CONFIG_HID_SENSOR_HUB) is vulnerable to a
memory leakage flaw. It could occur when an HID device sends malicious output
report to the sensor-hub kernel driver.

A local user with physical access to the system could use this flaw to leak
kernel memory bytes.

Statement:

This issue does not affect the versions of the kernel package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.
