USB enumeration is only a lower-severity physical path.\nAC:L - A rogue controller fully controls the HID descriptor and feature-report replies used in sony_input_configured(), which links sony_sc onto sony_device_list before input_register_device(); the attacker then reconnects a second matching device so sony_check_add_dev_list() walks the dangling node, with no race outside its control.\nPR:N - A malicious Bluetooth HID peripheral is sufficient: hidp/usbhid enumerates the device and sony_probe() runs during bind, with no local account, capability, or init-namespace privilege required on the victim.\nUI:N - sony_input_configured() and the HID_CLAIMED_INPUT unwind run from hid_hw_start() as soon as the spoofed Sixaxis/Motion/Navigation device connects or auto-reconnects; no extra victim open, mount, or confirmation is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of driver-private sony_sc on the host kernel HID list and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security authority.\nC:H - After probe fails, devres frees sony_sc while sony_device_list still points at it; the next sony_check_add_dev_list() list_for_each_entry() reads mac_address and list pointers from the freed heap object, and UAF of this structure enables arbitrary kernel disclosure via spray/reuse.\nI:H - The dangling list_node is embedded in sony_sc alongside send_output_report, work_struct, and hid_device pointers; a second probe's list walk and later driver callbacks on a sprayed object yield an attacker-controlled kernel write and control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - Walking the freed list_node in sony_check_add_dev_list() is a KASAN slab-use-after-free and causes a kernel oops or panic when the slot is not reused, so any trigger of this UAF is a full host denial of service."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/hid/hid-sony.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "41d92c2e02788c04663b11335454b094dc4672bc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "7ee50d42a6d5c8cf3d8afb3285273bcc58452214", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "b84544ef00a27e8081498d33af7dac33b6cb8418", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "3b4709e4864908bb06c48c500cc8db8d3d55d139", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "d044d796e2a369c6051c7e83dce88c7baa2494d4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f967f6d73746f66514528cc1191025f0b5d69b3", "lessThan": "7c65699a3a311198a07659a614fe64d45924839e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/hid/hid-sony.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.10", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41d92c2e02788c04663b11335454b094dc4672bc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ee50d42a6d5c8cf3d8afb3285273bcc58452214"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b84544ef00a27e8081498d33af7dac33b6cb8418"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b4709e4864908bb06c48c500cc8db8d3d55d139"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d044d796e2a369c6051c7e83dce88c7baa2494d4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c65699a3a311198a07659a614fe64d45924839e"}], "title": "HID: sony: clean up device list on probe failure", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
