Summary

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's HID driver for Wacom tablets. The wacom_hid_set_device_mode() function assumes that the HID_DG_INPUTMODE usage is always in the first field of the report, which can lead to an out-of-bounds (OOB) write if the usage is located in a different field.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could allow a local attacker with access to a Wacom device to cause a system crash (kernel panic) or potentially escalate privileges by overwriting critical kernel structures.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit addressing the issue). For production systems, apply the security patch after testing.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: Fix OOB write in wacom_hid_set_device_mode() wacom_hid_set_device_mode() currently assumes that the HID_DG_INPUTMODE usage is always located in the first field (field[0]) of the feature report. However, a device can specify HID_DG_INPUTMODE in a different field. If HID_DG_INPUTMODE is in a field other than the first one and the first field has a report_count smaller than the usage_index of HID_DG_INPUTMODE, this leads to an out-of-bounds write to r->field[0]->value. Fix this by storing the field index of HID_DG_INPUTMODE in 'struct hid_data' during feature mapping. In wacom_hid_set_device_mode(), use this stored field index to access the correct field and add bounds checks to ensure both the field index and the value index are within valid ranges before writing.
