Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: appletouch - initialize work before device registration Syzbot has reported warning in __flush_work(). This warning is caused by
work->func == NULL, which means missing work initialization. This may happen, since input_dev->close() calls
cancel_work_sync(&dev->work), but dev->work initalization happens _after_
input_register_device() call. So this patch moves dev->work initialization before registering input
device

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Entrada: appletouch: inicializa el trabajo antes del registro del dispositivo Syzbot ha informado una advertencia en __flush_work(). Esta advertencia es causada por work->func == NULL, lo que significa que falta la inicialización del trabajo. Esto puede suceder, ya que input_dev->close() llama a cancel_work_sync(&dev->work), pero la inicialización dev->work ocurre _después_ de la llamada input_register_device(). Entonces este parche mueve la inicialización dev->work antes de registrar el dispositivo de entrada

It was discovered that the device input subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the case when an event code falls outside of a bitmap. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. 黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
