CVE-2026-90001CVE-2026-90001
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: serialize device reference release in struct_ops destroy path
__hid_bpf_ops_destroy_device() and hid_bpf_unreg() can race on the
same registration reference, double-putting struct hid_device and
freeing it while hid_destroy_device() still uses it. Serialize the
remove/NULL decision under hdev->bpf.prog_list_lock so exactly one
path releases each registration reference: unreg re-checks ops->hdev
under the lock and returns without putting when the destroy path
already cleared it; all put_device() calls happen after the lock is
dropped, which is safe because a concurrent unreg then observes
ops->hdev == NULL under the lock.
Background: each successful attach (hid_bpf_ops_reg) acquires one
device reference (hid_get_device()). Two paths can release it:
- device destruction: hid_destroy_device() -> hid_bpf_destroy_device()
-> __hid_bpf_ops_destroy_device(), which walks hdev->bpf.prog_list
under rcu_read_l
