Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the Input ims-pcu driver, a type confusion vulnerability was detected in CDC union descriptor parsing. The driver trusts bMasterInterface0 from the CDC union descriptor without verifying that it matches the interface being probed. This could lead to overwriting the private data of another interface.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may lead to memory corruption, system crashes, or privilege escalation by a malicious device.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that validates that the control interface found in the descriptor is indeed the one being probed. Update the system to a kernel version containing this fix.
