Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's HID (Human Interface Device) roccat driver. When a roccat device is destroyed, the driver fails to properly free buffered reports, leading to a memory leak. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to exhaust system memory, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 23:20:02 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: roccat: free buffered reports when destroying device

roccat_report_event() duplicates each report with kmemdup() and stores
the allocation in a circular-buffer slot. The allocation is released only
when that slot is reused.

The device destruction paths free struct roccat_device without releasing
reports still stored in cbuf[]. This makes those allocations unreachable
and leaks up to ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE report buffers per device.

Add a small destructor that frees every buffered report before freeing the
device, and use it in both paths that can destroy a registered device.
