6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the synaptics-rmi4 driver has a typo that incorrectly assigns the transmitter (TX) electrode count to the receiver (RX) value. This leads to incorrect diagnostic report size and potential out-of-bounds buffer access.

Risk Assessment

On devices with more RX than TX electrodes, the incorrect value can lead to improper calculations and potential memory corruption, possibly resulting in a crash or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that correctly assigns the TX electrode counts.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: synaptics-rmi4 - fix F55 transmitter electrode count typo During F55 sensor detection, the transmitter (TX) electrode count was incorrectly assigned the value of the receiver (RX) electrode count due to copy-paste typos. This incorrect value was then propagated to the driver data and used by F54 to determine the diagnostics report size. On devices with more RX than TX electrodes, this inflated the perceived TX count, leading to incorrect report size calculations and potential out-of-bounds buffer accesses. Fix the typos by correctly assigning the TX electrode counts.
