Description
In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka CID-9c09b214f30e.
A vulnerability was found in hiddev_open in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the USB Human Interface Device class subsystem, where an existing device must be validated prior to its access. The device should also ensure the hiddev_list cleanup occurs at failure, as this may lead to a use-after-free problem, or possibly escalate privileges to an unauthorized user.
