Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue arises when the uinput interface is exercised with a large number of slots, causing memory allocation failure in the
input mt init slots() function. Although the allocation failure is handled properly and the request is rejected, it results in syzkaller reports and may put an undue burden on the system. The fix involves limiting the allowed number of slots to 100, which can be extended if devices that can track more than 100 contacts are encountered.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
