AI-suggested
A patch is available and has been incorporated into Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Linux kernel packages to these fixed versions as soon as possible to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official kernel updates.
Description
A slab-out-of-bounds write vulnerability was identified and fixed in the Linux kernel's HID wacom driver. The flaw occurs when the wacom_wac_queue_insert function improperly handles an empty kfifo buffer, leading to corruption of the internal kfifo state and an out-of-bounds memcpy that can write up to 3842 bytes beyond the intended buffer. This vulnerability has been addressed by adding a check to prevent kfifo_skip() from being called on an empty fifo and by validating the size of incoming reports. The issue affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and related builds. A patch is available and included in fixed kernel versions.
