From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: lg-g15: cancel pending work on remove to fix a use-after-free lg_g15_data is allocated with devm and holds a work item. The report handlers schedule that work straight from device input. lg_g15_event() and lg_g15_v2_event() do it on the backlight cycle key, and lg_g510_leds_event() does it too. The worker dereferences the lg_g15_data back through container_of. The driver had no remove callback and never cancelled the work. So if a report scheduled the work and the keyboard was then unplugged, devres freed lg_g15_data while the work was still pending or running, and the worker touched freed memory. This is a use-after-free. It is reachable as a race on device unplug. Add a remove callback that cancels the work before devres frees the state. g15->work is only initialized for the models that schedule it (G15, G15 v2, G510). The G13 and Z-10 leave it zeroed, so guard the cancel on g15->work.func to avoid cancelling a work that was never set up. The g15 NULL test mirrors the one already in lg_g15_raw_event(). The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64362 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/hid/hid-lg-g15.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b9a3919aac6977262f04d5365c0456877522a44 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4aef9676c26dff8723b56834951cfc6b618f0986 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/acce9dee807f21184fff19ad17c8ed464247e7f7 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33cd1a000daf929356aacf2b191d31714ff0615e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dfc6e61f83113cc18346b6988f07271c0063357d https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d0d51bc12d246accbfbb94de05d729c68c9b8fb https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8131f4226688c4be5f30874d167e44dab838eb09 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7705b4140d188ce22656f6e541ae7ef834c7e11a
