kernel: HID: debug: Buffer overflow in hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c
In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-71361580.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the hid_debug_events_read() function in the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file. A lack of the certain checks may allow a privileged user ("root") to achieve an out-of-bounds write and thus receiving user space buffer corruption.
