CVE-2019-13631
In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of debugging messages.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
