hwmon: (nzxt-smart2) Stop device IO before calling hid_hw_stop
Published Aug 10, 2026
No CVSS score
EPSS 0.23%
Description
Calling hid_hw_stop() does not stop the device IO. This results in a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point immediately following the execution of hid_device_io_start() within the driver probe function. If the probe operation fails after "io start" has been initiated, this race condition will result in a UAF vulnerability.
Fix the problem by calling hid_device_io_stop() before calling hid_hw_stop().
