AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied. Fixed versions include multiple 5.15.x kernel releases such as 5.15.0-1097.104~20.04.1 and later. Users should upgrade to these fixed kernel versions as soon as possible to mitigate the vulnerability.

Description

A slab out-of-bounds vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's HID multitouch driver function mt_report_fixup(). This flaw occurs when a malicious HID device provides a report descriptor smaller than 608 bytes, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. The issue is fixed by adding a bounds check to ensure the descriptor size is sufficient before accessing byte offset 607.
