NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek package and not the kernel-uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The cp_report_fixup function in drivers/hid/hid-cypress.c in the Linux kernel 3.2 and 4.x before 4.9.4 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (integer underflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted HID report.
