Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in HID failed-probe cleanup when a HID report callback runs concurrently with a failed device probe. A local user can cause a HID report to be processed while a device probe fails to trigger a use-after-free.
