Thanks for that. However, if I just ask chatGPT what that CVE is about without providing it any additional Information, it starts to hallucinate something about amd graphics cards, so I'm entirely unsure how reliable that information might be.I couldn't find an answer to this question outside of AI so here's ChatGPT's response which you may or may not want to take with a grain of salt -me
CVE-2021-3612 - does a linux machine need to have a joystick connected to be vulnerable?
ChatGPT
CVE-2021-3612 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's "Joy-Con HID driver" that could allow a local attacker to crash the system or execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability doesn't require an actual physical joystick to be connected to the machine for exploitation. The vulnerability lies in how the Linux kernel handles certain input events related to joysticks, specifically in the Joy-Con HID driver. Attackers could potentially exploit this vulnerability remotely or locally without the need for physical access to a joystick. Therefore, it's crucial to patch affected systems promptly to mitigate any potential risk.
Is anyone aware of any further information concerning that vulnerability? I didn't find any news article or anything. Or can someone explain, how and when the drivers are loaded, so that I might make an educated guess?
Thanks in advance again.
