Summary

In the Linux kernel, the corsair-cpro hwmon driver has a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability. Calling hid_hw_stop() does not stop device I/O, leading to a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point after hid_device_io_start() in the probe function. If probe fails after I/O start, UAF can occur.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to memory corruption, potentially causing a system crash or arbitrary code execution in kernel context.

Recommendation

Apply the patch that calls hid_device_io_stop() before hid_hw_stop(). Update the kernel to a version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Stop device IO before calling hid_hw_stop Calling hid_hw_stop() does not stop the device IO. This results in a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point immediately following the execution of hid_device_io_start() within the driver probe function. If the probe operation fails after "io start" has been initiated, this race condition will result in a UAF vulnerability. Fix the problem by calling hid_device_io_stop() before calling hid_hw_stop().
