Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.11

Description The issue is related to the parse hid report descriptor function in the Linux kernel, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impacts via a crafted USB device. This is due to an out-of-bounds read in memory, potentially leading to a system crash. The exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause unspecified other impacts, including reading beyond memory boundaries.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.11, update to version 4.13.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
