CVE-2026-93189CVE-2026-93189
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: quiesce input in hid_hw_stop() to prevent use-after-free
A driver's probe calls hid_device_io_start() to enable input delivery,
then fails at a later initialization step and unwinds via hid_hw_stop().
The unwind frees struct hidraw via hidraw_disconnect() while in-flight
HID reports may still be running on another CPU, dereferencing the
freed object through hidraw_report_event(). syzbot reports the
resulting use-after-free for the corsair-psu HID driver.
Edward Adam Davis posted a per-driver fix for corsair-psu that adds
an explicit hid_device_io_stop() before hid_hw_stop() in the probe
error path ("hwmon: prevent packets from going to driver for probe",
2026-04-28). Auditing the tree shows 15 drivers call
hid_device_io_start(); 7 also call hid_device_io_stop() and 8 do not:
drivers calling hid_device_io_start() without a matching
hid_device_io_stop() before hid_hw_stop():
