CVE-2014-3183 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the logi_dj_ll_raw_request function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that specifies a large report size for an LED report.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
