Description Prasad Pandit 2013-08-23 10:07:50 UTC 
Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device(CONFIG_HID) support along
with the Minibox PicoLCD devices(CONFIG_HID_PICOLCD) driver is vulnerable to
a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It could occur when the 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.
