Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Human Interface Device (HID) Logitech DJ driver. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect check in the DJ short report validation, where a specially crafted device descriptor can lead to a null pointer dereference during device initialization. Successful exploitation of this flaw could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:14:59 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: logitech-dj: Fix maxfield check in DJ short report validation

Commit b6a57912854e ("HID: logitech-dj: Prevent REPORT_ID_DJ_SHORT
related user initiated OOB write") added validation for the DJ short
output report, but the error path dereferences rep->field[0] even when
rep->maxfield is zero.

Commit 8b9a097eb2fc ("HID: logitech-dj: fix wrong detection of bad
DJ_SHORT output report") made the check conditional on rep being present,
but a crafted descriptor can still create report ID 0x20 with only padding
output items. hid-core registers the report, ignores the padding field,
and leaves rep->maxfield as zero.

In that case the validation enters the rep->maxfield < 1 branch and then
dereferences rep->field[0]->report_count while printing the error message,
causing a NULL pointer dereference during probe. This is reproducible with
uhid by emulating a Logitech receiver with a padding-only DJ short output
report:
