In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: apple: validate feature-report field count to prevent NULL pointer dereference A malicious HID device with quirk APPLE_MAGIC_BACKLIGHT can trigger a NULL pointer dereference whilst the power feature-report is toggled and sent to the device in apple_magic_backlight_report_set(). The power feature-report is expected to have two data fields, but if the descriptor declares one field then accessing field[1] and dereferencing it in apple_magic_backlight_report_set() becomes invalid since field[1] will be NULL. An example of a minimal descriptor which can cause the crash is something like the following where the report with ID 3 (power report) only references a single 1-byte field. When hid core parses the descriptor it will encounter the final feature tag, allocate a hid_report (all members of field[] will be zeroed out), create field structure and populate it, increasing the maxfield to 1. The subsequent field[1] access and dereference causes the crash.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: apple: validate feature-report     field count to prevent NULL pointer dereference A malicious HID device with quirk APPLE_MAGIC_BACKLIGHT     can trigger a NULL pointer dereference whilst the power feature-report is toggled and sent to the device     in apple_magic_backlight_report_set(). The power feature-report is expected to have two data fields, but     if the descriptor declares one field then accessing field[1] and dereferencing it in     apple_magic_backlight_report_set() becomes invalid since field[1] will be NULL. An example of a minimal     descriptor which can cause the crash is something like the following where the report with ID 3 (power     report) only references a single 1-byte field. When hid core parses the descriptor it will encounter the     final feature tag, allocate a hid_report (all members of field[] will be zeroed out), create field     structure and populate it, increasing the maxfield to 1. The subsequent field[1] access and dereference     causes the crash.
