| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.2
Description
The issue is related to an array index error in the
logi dj raw event function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c. This error allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (invalid kfree) via a crafted device that provides a malformed REPORT TYPE NOTIF DEVICE UNPAIRED value.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.2, update to version 3.16.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
logi dj raw event function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
