Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> HID: hid-steam: Fix use-after-free when detaching device<br /> <br /> When a hid-steam device is removed it must clean up the client_hdev used for<br /> intercepting hidraw access. This can lead to scheduling deferred work to<br /> reattach the input device. Though the cleanup cancels the deferred work, this<br /> was done before the client_hdev itself is cleaned up, so it gets rescheduled.<br /> This patch fixes the ordering to make sure the deferred work is properly<br /> canceled.
