Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way the Cherry Cymotion keyboard driver, KYE/Genius device drivers, Logitech device drivers, Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard driver, Petalynx Maxter remote control driver, and Sunplus wireless desktop driver handled HID reports with an invalid report descriptor size. An attacker with physical access to the system could use either of these flaws to write data past an allocated memory buffer.

Description Prasad J Pandit 2014-09-12 20:35:05 EDT
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.
