Description Prasad Pandit 2014-09-12 18:13:40 UTC

Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device(HID) Bus support(CONFIG_HID)
along with a driver for Logitech Unifying receivers full support
(CONFIG_LOGITECH_DJ), is vulnerable to an OOB write flaw. It could occur if a
device offers an HID report of arbitrary count value.

A local user with physical access to the system could use this flaw to crash
the system resulting in DoS or potentially, escalate their privileges on the
system.

Upstream fix:
