Descriptions

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.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: HID: núcleo: no omitir hid_hw_raw_request. hid_hw_raw_request() es útil para garantizar la validez del búfer y la longitud proporcionados. Llamar directamente a la función del controlador de transporte de bajo nivel omitía estas comprobaciones y permitía el uso de parámetros no válidos.
