An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Kid-friendly Wired Controller driver. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. It is in bigben_probe of drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c. The reason is incorrect assumption - bigben devices all have inputs. However, malicious devices can break this assumption, leaking to out-of-bound write.

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
