Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the
i2c hid of probe() function in the Linux kernel's HID device driver for I2C. This occurs when the I2C HID implementation is split into ACPI and OF parts, but the new OF driver fails to initialize the client pointer, which is then dereferenced on power-up failures. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
