Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the usa49wg indat transfer parser in drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.c when parsing malformed indat packets from a USB device. A local attacker can provide a specially crafted USB device to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can cause parsing of stale or uninitialised slab data.
