CVE-2022-49974

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Last modified:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> HID: nintendo: fix rumble worker null pointer deref<br /> <br /> We can dereference a null pointer trying to queue work to a destroyed<br /> workqueue.<br /> <br /> If the device is disconnected, nintendo_hid_remove is called, in which<br /> the rumble_queue is destroyed. Avoid using that queue to defer rumble<br /> work once the controller state is set to JOYCON_CTLR_STATE_REMOVED.<br /> <br /> This eliminates the null pointer dereference.
