CVE-2021-47097: Input: elantech - fix stack out of bound access in elantech_change_report_id()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: elantech - fix stack out of bound access in elantechchangereportid()
The array param[] in elantechchangereportid() must be at least 3 bytes, because elantechreadregparams() is calling ps2command() with PSMOUSECMDGETINFO, that is going to access 3 bytes from param[], but it's defined in the stack as an array of 2 bytes, therefore we have a potential stack out-of-bounds access here, also confirmed by KASAN:
