In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Do not enable the charging limit even when forced
It seems that on some older models (~2020) the battery charging limit
can permanently damage the battery. Prevent users from enabling this
feature thru the "force" module parameter to avoid causing permanent
hardware damage on such devices.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Uniwill laptop driver. This vulnerability allows a local user to potentially cause permanent damage to the battery on certain older Uniwill laptop models. The issue arises when the battery charging limit feature is enabled through a 'force' module parameter, as some devices do not properly implement this interface. Preventing the use of this feature, even when forced, avoids irreversible hardware damage.
