Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the Input ims-pcu driver, there is a lack of validation of the control endpoint type. The driver assumes that the first endpoint is an interrupt IN endpoint without verification. A malicious device could provide a different endpoint type, potentially leading to kernel warnings or undefined behavior.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may lead to system crashes or undefined driver behavior, which could be exploited by a malicious device to destabilize the system.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that verifies that the control endpoint is an interrupt IN endpoint. Update the system to a kernel version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - validate control endpoint type The driver currently assumes that the first endpoint of the control interface is an interrupt IN endpoint without verifying it. A malicious device could provide a different endpoint type, which would then be passed to usb_fill_int_urb(), potentially leading to kernel warnings or undefined behavior. Verify that the control endpoint is an interrupt IN endpoint.
