How to fix?

Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 5.10.266, 5.15.217, 6.1.184, 6.6.153, 6.12.105, 6.18.46, 7.1.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the rmi_f54_work process. An attacker can cause kernel heap corruption and leak sensitive kernel memory by exploiting a malicious or malfunctioning RMI4 device that reports mismatched electrode counts, resulting in out-of-bounds writes and reads during diagnostics report handling. This is only exploitable if a non-conforming RMI4 device is present on the bus and the attacker has access to the V4L2 diagnostics node.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
