CVE-2025-37862

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:
09/05/2025
Last modified:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> HID: pidff: Fix null pointer dereference in pidff_find_fields<br /> <br /> This function triggered a null pointer dereference if used to search for<br /> a report that isn&amp;#39;t implemented on the device. This happened both for<br /> optional and required reports alike.<br /> <br /> The same logic was applied to pidff_find_special_field and although<br /> pidff_init_fields should return an error earlier if one of the required<br /> reports is missing, future modifications could change this logic and<br /> resurface this possible null pointer dereference again.<br /> <br /> LKML bug report:<br /> https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL-gK7f5=R0nrrQdPtaZZr1fd-cdAMbDMuZ_NLA8vM0SX+nGSw@mail.gmail.com
