Description Prasad Pandit 2014-09-13 00:35:05 UTC

Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device(HID) Bus support(CONFIG_HID)
along with a driver for

 Cherry Cymotion keyboard support(CONFIG_HID_CHERRY)
 KYE/Genius devices support(CONFIG_HID_KYE)
 Logitech devices support(CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH)
 Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard support(CONFIG_HID_MONTEREY)
 Petalynx Maxter remote control support(CONFIG_HID_PETALYNX)
 Sunplus wireless desktop support(CONFIG_HID_SUNPLUS)

is vulnerable to an OOB write flaw. It could occur if an HID device report
offers an invalid report descriptor size.

A local user with physical access to the system could use this flaw to write
past an allocated memory buffer. This is mostly a non issue as the allocated
memory buffer comes with the padding bytes used for alignment purposes.
