{"cve":"CVE-2026-80766","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-04T16:18:01.923","modified":"2026-10-19T09:17:10.613","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nHID: uclogic: fix use-after-free of inrange_timer on remove\n\nuclogic_remove() cancels the pen in-range timer and then stops the\ndevice:\n\n\ttimer_delete_sync(&drvdata->inrange_timer);\n\thid_hw_stop(hdev);\n\ntimer_delete_sync() only guarantees the timer is idle at that instant.\nuclogic_raw_event_pen() keeps delivering pen reports until hid_hw_stop()\nstops the transport several lines later, and every report with\npen->inrange == UCLOGIC_PARAMS_PEN_INRANGE_NONE re-arms the timer:\n\n\tmod_timer(&drvdata->inrange_timer, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(100));\n\nA report landing between the timer_delete_sync() call and the transport\nteardown in hid_hw_stop() re-arms inrange_timer after it was cancelled.\nuclogic_remove() then returns and the devm drvdata is freed, while\nhid_hw_stop() has already freed the input device drvdata->pen_input\npoints at, so when the timer fires ~100 ms later\nuclogic_inrange_timeout() dereferences freed memory -- a use-after-free\nin timer-softirq context.\n\nSwapping the two calls is not a fix: stopping the device first frees\ndrvdata->pen_input via hidinput_disconnect() while the timer may still\nbe pending, so a timer already armed before removal fires on the freed\ninput device in the window before timer_delete_sync() runs.\n\nUse timer_shutdown_sync() before hid_hw_stop() instead. It cancels the\ntimer, waits for a running callback while pen_input is still valid, and\nprevents any further re-arming -- a later mod_timer() from an in-flight\nreport is silently ignored -- so the timer is provably dead before\nhid_hw_stop() frees the inputs. This is the ordering the timer core\ndocuments for this \"timer re-armed from another path\" teardown case.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/506fd50a9027340f0e9dcc587d10ccb03312dba6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/849e537160bbb77fe419ecc3944bfe125dcd441b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9d77ac82e57ead056cf3f71d347083ed9244ad90","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc5108f18f58870a8dd4203a02a47e571a2be7f0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e750cdb6de009aace3c77f37fe2173f96175e8e4"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:52:03.409947763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80766","score":0.00177,"percentile":0.07168,"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).
