Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow in the touch reporting logic of the elan_i2c touchpad driver when handling small calculated or fallback width values. A local attacker can cause width values smaller than ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE to trigger an underflow and report a massive unsigned integer to userspace.

The issue affects touch width reporting to userspace.
