** Description changed:

- Memory write via arbitrary heap array index. This is the most serious,
- IMO, as it allows (on 32-bit) access to the entire memory range (the
- index is unsigned 32 bit). This is mitigated slightly by the fact that
- the starting address is at an "unknown" location on the heap, and that
- the value written is an "arbitrary" kernel pointer. Still, this could
- almost certainly be turned into full kernel execution given enough
- study.
+ Multiple array index errors in drivers/hid/hid-core.c in the Human
+ Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11 allow
+ physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a
+ denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted device that
+ provides an invalid Report ID.
