Home / exploits Linux HID pantherlord heap overflow
Posted on 03 September 2013
<pre>I've found several issues in the Linux HID code. They are making their way into the Linux kernel via the linux-input tree now: http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=137772180514608&w=10001-HID-validate-HID-report-id-size.patch http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=137772185414625&w=10006-HID-pantherlord-validate-output-report-details.patch CVE-2013-2892 Requires CONFIG_HID_PANTHERLORD Small past-end-of-heap-alloc zeroing A HID device could send a malicious output report that would cause the pantherlord HID driver to write beyond the output report allocation during initialization, causing a heap overflow: [ 310.939483] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0e8f, idProduct=0003 ...
