FocalTech FOC_REL packets reach focaltech_process_rel_packet through i8042/serio hardware interrupts, ps2_interrupt, psmouse_receive_byte, and focaltech_process_byte with no syscall gate; any local user on a laptop with an integrated FocalTech PS/2 touchpad can deliver the triggering bytes by normal touchpad use.\nAC:L - When the second relative finger index is 0, a documented valid case for odd finger counts, signed underflow makes finger2 -1 pass the FOC_MAX_FINGERS bound test and causes a reliable out-of-bounds write on every such packet without races or attacker-uncontrollable memory layout.\nPR:N - No Linux account, capability, or namespace privilege is required; the integrated touchpad feeds bytes directly into the kernel interrupt handler during normal operation, including at the login screen before authentication.\nUI:N - An attacker with brief local access can trigger the corrupting multitouch gestures directly on the touchpad; exploitation does not depend on a separate victim performing an unusual action beyond touching the device.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts kmalloc-allocated focaltech_data within the host kernel psmouse driver; impact is standard in-kernel memory corruption rather than crossing a guest/host, VM, or IOMMU security boundary.\nC:H - Out-of-bounds += writes to fingers[-1].x and fingers[-1].y corrupt adjacent focaltech_data fields such as y_max in kernel heap memory; this class of heap corruption can be leveraged for kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - Attacker-influenced PS/2 packet bytes supply signed 8-bit deltas that repeatedly perform out-of-bounds writes immediately before fingers[0], enabling progressive corruption of neighboring driver state and potential privilege escalation.\nA:H - Corrupting kmalloc-allocated driver state via fingers[-1] can destabilize the input subsystem or adjacent heap objects, causing kernel oops, panic, or repeatable denial of service on affected laptops."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/input/mouse/focaltech.c"],"versions":[{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"063b4c6a6f3fc01bca085c442000c9c100fdbd93","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"bb502d79acb9ac1e0a77fa8bc7b7b4729140b11f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"ca92c98b806839c108995b2bbff7061515bdfb53","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"81b07470cb2937ceb74b00be88151582a322433b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"6f6d5fe29efdf5001bc146fc292e6592cace93eb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"83c265bfc084d77e2171d4b67362150ab38c935b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"1842e47126816e56d30c4f856f9854fd7831066c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05be1d079ec0b3691783e4384b1ada82149ff7d2","lessThan":"296736076b3fd078742651c719555a488624023a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/input/mouse/focaltech.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.266","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.217","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.184","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.153","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.105","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.46","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.266"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.217"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.184"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.153"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.105"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.46"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/063b4c6a6f3fc01bca085c442000c9c100fdbd93"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb502d79acb9ac1e0a77fa8bc7b7b4729140b11f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca92c98b806839c108995b2bbff7061515bdfb53"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81b07470cb2937ceb74b00be88151582a322433b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f6d5fe29efdf5001bc146fc292e6592cace93eb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/83c265bfc084d77e2171d4b67362150ab38c935b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1842e47126816e56d30c4f856f9854fd7831066c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/296736076b3fd078742651c719555a488624023a"}],"title":"Input: focaltech -
