Descriptions
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the hiddev_ioctl_usage function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call.
Múltiples desbordamientos de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en la función hiddev_ioctl_usage en drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.6.3 permiten a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio o tener posiblemente otro impacto no especificado a través de una llamada (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES o (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl manipulada.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's hiddev driver. This flaw could allow a local attacker to corrupt kernel memory, possible privilege escalation or crashing the system.
