| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Human Interface Device (HID) drivers. This vulnerability occurs when raw event callbacks are processed for an unclaimed HID device, due to missing input validation checks. A local attacker, by connecting a specially crafted HID device, could trigger a NULL dereference. This leads to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: Add HID_CLAIMED_INPUT guards in raw_event callbacks missing them In commit 2ff5baa9b527 ("HID: appleir: Fix potential NULL dereference at raw event handle"), we handle the fact that raw event callbacks can happen even for a HID device that has not been "claimed" causing a crash if a broken device were attempted to be connected to the system. Fix up the remaining in-tree HID drivers that forgot to add this same check to resolve the same issue.
