Description Prasad Pandit 2014-09-12 11:36:50 UTC 
Linux kernel built with the Human Interface Device(HID) Bus support(CONFIG_HID)
along with a driver for Apple Magic Mouse/Trackpad multi-touch, is vulnerable
to an OOB write flaw. It could occur if a device offers an HID report of
arbitrary length.

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.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

This issue affects the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2. Future kernel updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 may address this issue.
