NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting kernel-core package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

HID: uclogic: Fix user-memory-access bug in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks()

When CONFIG_HID_UCLOGIC=y and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y, launch kernel and then the below user-memory-access bug occurs.

In hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks(),it call uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() with the first arg=NULL, so when it calls uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(), the hid_get_drvdata() will access hdev->dev with hdev=NULL, which will cause below user-memory-access.

So add a fake_device with quirks member and call hid_set_drvdata() to assign hdev->dev->driver_data which avoids the null-ptr-def bug for drvdata->quirks in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(). After applying this patch, the below user-memory-access bug never occurs.
