CVE-2025-38016CVE-2025-38016
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: abort dispatch if device destroyed
The current HID bpf implementation assumes no output report/request will
go through it after hid_bpf_destroy_device() has been called. This leads
to a bug that unplugging certain types of HID devices causes a cleaned-
up SRCU to be accessed. The bug was previously a hidden failure until a
recent x86 percpu change [1] made it access not-present pages.
The bug will be triggered if the conditions below are met:
A) a device under the driver has some LEDs on
B) hid_ll_driver->request() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-djreceiver)
If condition A is met, hidinput_led_worker() is always scheduled *after*
hid_bpf_destroy_device().
hid_destroy_device
` hid_bpf_destroy_device
` cleanup_srcu_struct(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` hid_remove_device
` ...
` led_classdev_unregister
` led_trigger_set(led_cdev, NULL)
` led_set_brightness(led_cdev, LED_OFF)
` ...
