Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-05 08:18:25 UTC 
A local attacker with /dev/uinput access can inject arbitrary udev properties through the libinput-device-group helper. Depending on downstream udev rules, this can result in root code execution (e.g. via injected REMOVE_CMD properties
executed at device removal time). REMOVE_CMD is in the default udev rules and expected to be present on virtually all machines.
