For instance, the timer is active while\nhidp_del_timer is called in hidp_session_thread(). After hidp_session_put,\nthen 'session' will be freed, causing kernel panic when hidp_idle_timeout\nis running.\n\nThe solution is to use del_timer_sync instead of del_timer.\n\nHere is the call trace:\n\n? hidp_session_probe+0x780/0x780\ncall_timer_fn+0x2d/0x1e0\n__run_timers.part.0+0x569/0x940\nhidp_session_probe+0x780/0x780\ncall_timer_fn+0x1e0/0x1e0\nktime_get+0x5c/0xf0\nlapic_next_deadline+0x2c/0x40\nclockevents_program_event+0x205/0x320\nrun_timer_softirq+0xa9/0x1b0\n__do_softirq+0x1b9/0x641\n__irq_exit_rcu+0xdc/0x190\nirq_exit_rcu+0xe/0x20\nsysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0xa1/0xc0","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0efb276d5848a3accc37c6f41b85e442c4768169","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/152f47bd6b995e0e98c85672f6d19894bc287ef2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/248af9feca062a4ca9c3f2ccf67056c8a5eb817f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f3d214d19899183d4e0cce7552998262112e4ab","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a99e6200c38b78a45dcd12a6bdc43fdf4dc36be"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-54120","score":0.00313,"percentile":0.23965,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
