4.7

Medium

VectorAV: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 multiple array index errors in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem, specifically in the drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c file when CONFIG HID MULTITOUCH is enabled. This can allow physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in heap memory corruption, or a NULL pointer dereference and OOPS, via a crafted device.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.11, update to a version 3.11 or later to resolve the issue.
