CVE-2024-50302 is a use-of-uninitialized-resource vulnerability in the Linux kernel HID core. The HID report buffer was allocated without zero-initialization and is used by multiple HID drivers in differing ways. A specially crafted HID report can cause previously uninitialized kernel-memory contents in that buffer to be exposed.
