CVSSv4: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to overwrite heap memory.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in the tw_interrupt() handler in drivers/input/touchscreen/touchwin.c when processing serial input from a Touchwindow peripheral. An attacker with physical access can send crafted non-zero bytes with mismatched second and third packet bytes to overwrite heap memory.

Exploitation requires a malicious, malfunctioning, or counterfeit Touchwindow peripheral.
