Title
HID: wacom: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in wacom_wac_queue_insert
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in wacom_wac_queue_insert wacom_wac_queue_insert() calls kfifo_skip() in a loop when the kfifo doesn't have enough space for the incoming report. If the kfifo is empty, kfifo_skip() reads stale data left in the kmalloc'd buffer via __kfifo_peek_n() and interprets it as a record length, advancing fifo->out by that garbage value. This corrupts the internal kfifo state, causing kfifo_unused() to return a value much larger than the actual buffer size, which bypasses __kfifo_in_r()'s guard: if (len + recsize > kfifo_unused(fifo)) return 0; kfifo_copy_in() then performs an out-of-bounds memcpy, writing up to 3842 bytes past the 256-byte buffer. Add a !kfifo_is_empty() condition to the while loop so kfifo_skip() is never called on an empty fifo, and check the return value of kfifo_in() to reject reports that are too large for the fifo.

The report-processing path contains no privilege or authentication check.\nUI:N - Once the malicious peripheral is connected, it can transmit the triggering report without any concurrent victim action.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the host kernel and compromises resources governed by that same security authority; it does not inherently cross a VM or IOMMU boundary.\nC:H - The large attacker-controlled heap overwrite can corrupt adjacent kernel objects and be developed into code-execution or arbitrary-memory-access primitives, exposing kernel and process memory.\nI:H - The report supplies thousands of attacker-controlled bytes beyond a small slab object, enabling corruption of adjacent objects and potential kernel control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The extensive slab overwrite can immediately cause a kernel oops or panic, and the triggering report can be sent repeatedly."
