CVE-2013-2889
CVSS v2.0
4.7
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11
Description
The issue is related to a lack of input data clearing in the HID driver for Zeroplus game controllers, leading to a local denial of service. Specifically, in the Linux kernel, the
drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c file in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem is affected when CONFIG HID ZEROPLUS is enabled. This allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted device, resulting in a heap-based out-of-bounds write.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11, consider disabling the
CONFIG HID ZEROPLUS configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available.Exploit
