Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: multitouch: Correct devm device reference for hidinput input_dev name Reference the HID device rather than the input device for the devm allocation of the input_dev name. Referencing the input_dev would lead to a use-after-free when the input_dev was unregistered and subsequently fires a uevent that depends on the name. At the point of firing the uevent, the name would be freed by devres management. Use devm_kasprintf to simplify the logic for allocating memory and formatting the input_dev name string.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.12 < 4.14.326) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.295) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.257) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.195) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.132) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.53) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.4.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.5 < 6.5.3)
