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

HID: elan: Fix potential double free in elan_input_configured

'input' is a managed resource allocated with devm_input_allocate_device(), so there is no need to call input_free_device() explicitly or there will be a double free.

According to the doc of devm_input_allocate_device():

  • Managed input devices do not need to be explicitly unregistered or
  • freed as it will be done automatically when owner device unbinds from
  • its driver (or binding fails).
