Subject: Re: CVE Request: Linux kernel HID: hiddev buffer overflows

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

> There is a small buffer overflow in the hiddev driver code which seems to have come due

> 
> If a user-land process calls the hiddev ioctl with the HIDIOCGUSAGES or HIDIOCSUSAGES command,
> and passes a report id of HID_REPORT_ID_UNKNOWN it bypasses a series of bounds checks. Later in
