Home / exploits Linux HID lenovo-tpkbd 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=137772187514628&w=10008-HID-lenovo-tpkbd-validate-output-report-details.patch CVE-2013-2894 Requires CONFIG_HID_LENOVO_TPKBD Small past-end-of-heap-alloc zeroing A HID device could send a malicious output report that would cause the lenovo-tpkbd HID driver to write just beyond the output report allocation during initialization, causing a heap overflow: [ 76.109807] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=17ef, idProduct=6009 ...
