Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in cypress_read_int_callback() in the cypress_m8 USB serial driver when processing malformed short interrupt packets. A local attacker can provide a specially crafted short interrupt report to cause a denial of service.

Successful interrupt transfers can complete with fewer bytes than required for the selected Cypress packet header format.
