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 the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted device. This is due to a lack of input sanitization in the HID driver for various Logitech devices with feedback, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds write. The affected components include drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c, and drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11, update to a version 3.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the CONFIG LOGITECH FF, CONFIG LOGIG940 FF, or CONFIG LOGIWHEELS FF configurations until a patch is available. Restrict access to the HID subsystem to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using crafted devices that could trigger the denial of service.
