Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: alps: unregister DualPoint Stick input device on remove
alps_input_configured() allocates a second input device ("DualPoint
Stick") with input_allocate_device() and registers it, but the
alps_driver struct has no .remove handler and input2 is not tracked in
hdev->inputs. The default remove path (hid_hw_stop -> hidinput_disconnect)
only iterates hdev->inputs, so input2 is never unregistered and leaks
on every device removal.
Add a .remove handler that stops the device first (preventing URB
callbacks from touching input2 during teardown) and then unregisters
input2.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALPS Human Interface Device (HID) driver. The driver fails to properly unregister and release a secondary input device when the hardware is removed. A local user could exploit this issue by repeatedly disconnecting the device, causing a memory leak that can lead to system resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Low severity because exploitation requires local access to repeatedly connect and disconnect specific ALPS hardware devices or emulated peripherals, resulting only in a gradual resource leak without impacting system confidentiality or integrity. In typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux server and container environments, physical ALPS input hardware is rarely utilized, significantly reducing exposure. Virtualized deployments are only at risk if an unprivileged user possesses the rights to attach and detach emulated HID hardware.
