Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: pidff: Fix condition effect bit clearing
As reported by MPDarkGuy on discord, NULL pointer dereferences were
happening because not all the conditional effects bits were cleared.
Properly clear all conditional effect bits from ffbit
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem, specifically within the pidff module. This vulnerability occurs because not all conditional effect bits were properly cleared, leading to null pointer dereferences. A local attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Отчет
This flaw affects systems using force feedback devices with the pidff (PID Force Feedback) HID driver. Incomplete clearing of conditional effect bits in ffbit causes NULL pointer dereferences. Triggering requires a force feedback capable device and specific force feedback effect operations.
