It was discovered that the device input subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the case when an event code falls outside of a bitmap. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. 黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
