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.
