Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-28 12:02:21 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: core: do not bypass hid_hw_raw_request

hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer
and length are valid. Directly calling in the low level transport driver
function bypassed those checks and allowed invalid paramto be used.
