CVE-2024-50302

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's driver for Human Interface Devices. This flaw allows an attacker to use a malicious input device to read information from the report buffer. This could be used to leak kernel memory, enabling the exploitation of additional vulnerabilities.

While this vulnerability could lead to disclosure of kernel memory, the impact is rated Moderate because exploitation requires bypassing additional security features such as kernel address-space layout randomization (KASLR). It could be exploited by an authenticated, local attacker who emulates a malicious Human Interface Device (HID).

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
