CVE-2026-80782CVE-2026-80782
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: magicmouse: do not keep a stale msc->input if no input is claimed
magicmouse_input_mapping() caches the first hid_input's input_dev in
msc->input while the report descriptor is parsed, and the rest of the
driver treats a non-NULL msc->input as proof that an input device was
registered.
That does not hold on the hid-input error path. If hidinput_connect()
fails -- for instance because input_register_device() returns an error --
it unwinds through hidinput_disconnect(), which frees every input_dev it
created, including the one cached in msc->input.
The failure does not abort the probe. hid_connect() only skips the claim:
if ((connect_mask & HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT) && !hidinput_connect(hdev,
connect_mask & HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT_FORCE))
hdev->claimed |= HID_CLAIMED_INPUT;
and the "device has no listeners" bailout below it does not fire for this
driver, which sets ->raw_event; on the USB Magic Mouse 2 / Magic
