Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
HID: logitech-hidpp: Prevent use-after-free on force feedback initialisation failure<br />
<br />
Presently, if the force feedback initialisation fails when probing the<br />
Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One, an error number<br />
will be returned and propagated before the userspace infrastructure<br />
(sysfs and /dev/input) has been torn down. If userspace ignores the<br />
errors and continues to use its references to these dangling entities, a<br />
UAF will promptly follow.<br />
<br />
We have 2 options; continue to return the error, but ensure that all of<br />
the infrastructure is torn down accordingly or continue to treat this<br />
condition as a warning by emitting the message but returning success.<br />
It is thought that the original author&#39;s intention was to emit the<br />
warning but keep the device functional, less the force feedback feature,<br />
so let&#39;s go with that.
