Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: asus: avoid memory leak in asus_report_fixup() The asus_report_fixup() function was returning a newly allocated kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. Switch to devm_kzalloc() to ensure the memory is managed and freed automatically when the device is removed. The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned pointer, but it is permitted to return a pointer whose lifetime is at least that of the input buffer. Also fix a harmless out-of-bounds read by copying only the original descriptor size.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.14 < 5.10.253) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.203) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.168) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.131) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.80) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.21) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.11) • linux linux kernel 7.0
