Last modified
CVE-2024-50302 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: core: zero-initialize the report buffer Since the report buffer is used by all kinds of drivers in various ways, let's zero-initialize it during allocation to make sure that it can't be ever used to leak kernel memory via specially-crafted report.. CISA has confirmed active exploitation in the wild. EPSS estimates a 0.81% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
