Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an undefined shift caused by improper input validation in s32ton() when processing a malicious HID report descriptor during output report construction. A local attacker can supply a broken HID device with an oversized report_size field to cause a denial of service.
The issue is triggered when an output report is built via hid_output_field() or hid_set_field().
