CVE-2014-3181
CVSS v2.0
6.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions through 3.16.3
Description
The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the
magicmouse raw event function in the Magic Mouse HID driver. This allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with an event.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions through 3.16.3, update to a version later than 3.16.3 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
magicmouse raw event function in the Magic Mouse HID driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
