DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: Add HID_CLAIMED_INPUT guards in raw_event callbacks missing them

In commit 2ff5baa9b527 ("HID: appleir: Fix potential NULL dereference at raw event handle"), we handle the fact that raw event callbacks can happen even for a HID device that has not been "claimed" causing a crash if a broken device were attempted to be connected to the system.

Fix up the remaining in-tree HID drivers that forgot to add this same check to resolve the same issue.

AnalysisAI

This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel HID (Human Interface Device) drivers that lack proper validation checks when processing raw event callbacks from unclaimed HID devices. An attacker could connect a malicious or broken HID device to trigger a NULL pointer dereference in affected drivers, causing a kernel crash and denial of service. …
