Type Mismatch Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affecting HID Thrustmaster Drivers

CVE-2024-57993

Summary

A type mismatch vulnerability has been identified in the HID Thrustmaster driver within the Linux kernel. This issue stems from a discrepancy between a USB pipe and its associated transfer endpoint, which can potentially lead to unintended behaviors during device interactions. The vulnerability has been addressed by implementing an additional check for the endpoint type in the driver code, enhancing the robustness of USB operations. This fix is part of ongoing efforts to improve driver stability and security.
