Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2019-19532

Vulnerability identifier: #VU24440

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19532

CWE-ID: CWE-787

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in drivers/hid/hid-axff.c, drivers/hid/hid-dr.c, drivers/hid/hid-emsff.c, drivers/hid/hid-gaff.c, drivers/hid/hid-holtekff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg2ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c, drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c, drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c, drivers/hid/hid-sony.c, drivers/hid/hid-tmff.c, and drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c. A local user with physical access can use a malicious USB device in the Linux kernel HID drivers, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
