Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-11 21:31 – Updated: 2026-09-13 09:32

Details

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

HID: sensor: custom: Fix field sysfs group cleanup on failure

hid_sensor_custom_add_attributes() creates one sysfs group for each custom sensor field. If sysfs_create_group() fails after some groups have already been created, the function returns the error without removing the previously created groups.

Add a local unwind path to remove the groups that were already created. With enable_sensor exposed only after the field attributes are ready, this path can free sensor_inst->fields without leaving enable_sensor able to access pointers into that array.

Severity

8.8 (High)
