Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel (Operating System) (unknown version). It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the file drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c of the component zeroplus HID Driver. The manipulation of the argument CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device.
