Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: core: do not bypass hid_hw_raw_request hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer and length are valid. Directly calling in the low level transport driver function bypassed those checks and allowed invalid paramto be used.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in the Linux kernel involves the HID subsystem where the function hid_hw_raw_request() is bypassed. Normally, hid_hw_raw_request() validates the provided buffer and length parameters to ensure they are valid. However, some low-level transport driver functions called this functionality directly, bypassing these important checks, which allowed invalid parameters to be used.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Bypassing the validation checks in hid_hw_raw_request() can lead to the use of invalid parameters, which may cause unexpected behavior, potential crashes, or security issues within the Linux kernel's HID subsystem. This could affect system stability or security depending on how the invalid parameters are exploited.
