Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
HID: letsketch: fix UAF on inrange_timer at driver unbind<br />
<br />
letsketch_driver does not provide a .remove callback, but<br />
letsketch_probe() arms a per-device timer:<br />
<br />
timer_setup(&data->inrange_timer, letsketch_inrange_timeout, 0);<br />
<br />
The timer is re-armed from letsketch_raw_event() with a 100 ms<br />
timeout on every pen-in-range report, and its callback dereferences<br />
data->input_tablet to deliver a synthetic BTN_TOOL_PEN release.<br />
<br />
letsketch_data is allocated with devm_kzalloc(), and its input_dev<br />
fields are devm-allocated via letsketch_setup_input_tablet(). On<br />
device unbind (USB unplug or rmmod), the HID core runs its default<br />
teardown and devm cleanup frees both letsketch_data and the input<br />
devices. Because no .remove callback exists, nothing drains the<br />
timer first: if raw_event armed it within ~100 ms of the unbind,<br />
the pending timer fires on freed memory. This is a UAF read of<br />
data and of data->input_tablet, followed by input_report_key() /<br />
input_sync() into the freed input_dev.<br />
<br />
The same problem can occur on the probe error path: if<br />
hid_hw_start() enabled I/O on an always-poll-quirk device and then<br />
failed, raw_event may have armed the timer before devm releases<br />
data.<br />
<br />
Fix by adding a .remove callback that calls hid_hw_stop() first.<br />
hid_hw_stop() synchronously kills the URBs that deliver raw_event(),<br />
so once it returns no path can re-arm the timer. timer_shutdown_sync()<br />
then drains any in-flight callback and permanently disables further<br />
mod_timer() calls. Apply the same timer_shutdown_sync() in the probe<br />
error path so the timer is guaranteed not to outlive data.
