Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> HID: wacom: fix crash in wacom_aes_battery_handler()<br /> <br /> Commit fd2a9b29dc9c ("HID: wacom: Remove AES power_supply after extended<br /> inactivity") introduced wacom_aes_battery_handler() which is scheduled<br /> as a delayed work (aes_battery_work).<br /> <br /> In wacom_remove(), aes_battery_work is not canceled. Consequently, if<br /> the device is removed while aes_battery_work is still pending, then hard<br /> crashes or "Oops: general protection fault..." are experienced when<br /> wacom_aes_battery_handler() is finally called. E.g., this happens with<br /> built-in USB devices after resume from hibernate when aes_battery_work<br /> was still pending at the time of hibernation.<br /> <br /> So, take care to cancel aes_battery_work in wacom_remove().
