Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's lg-g15 Human Interface Device (HID) driver. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when a Logitech G15, G15 v2, or G510 keyboard is unplugged while a work item is pending. The driver fails to properly cancel this pending work, allowing it to access memory that has already been freed. This race condition can lead to system instability or crashes.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:13:42 UTC
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().
