Description Prasad Pandit 2013-08-22 10:31:14 UTC
Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device(HID) Bus support(CONFIG_HID)
along with the Zeroplus based game controller support(CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS) is
vulnerable to a heap overflow flaw. It could occur when an HID device sends
malicious output report to the kernel driver.

A local user with physical access to the system could use this flaw to crash the
kernel resulting in DoS or potential privilege escalation to gain root access via
arbitrary code execution.

Comment 1 Prasad Pandit 2013-08-22 10:47:04 UTC
Statement:

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

This issue affects the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Future kernel updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 may address this issue.

Note: A user would need physical access to the system in order to exploit this issue.
