Title
Input: iforce - validate input packet lengths
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: iforce - validate input packet lengths
iforce_process_packet() reads fixed fields from joystick, wheel and
status packets without first checking their lengths. In particular, the
shared hats-and-buttons helper unconditionally reads data[6]. The status
tail is a sequence of 16-bit effect addresses, but an incomplete final
address is also consumed. A successful zero-length USB URB additionally
reads the packet ID before the common parser is called.
Reject the zero-length USB transfer, require the seven-byte joystick and
wheel prefixes and the two-byte status prefix, and consume only complete
status-tail addresses.
Severity
No CVSS data available.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
