CVE-2026-43049 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: logitech-hidpp: Prevent use-after-free on force feedback initialisation failure Presently, if the force feedback initialisation fails when probing the Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One, an error number will be returned and propagated before the userspace infrastructure (sysfs and /dev/input) has been torn down. If userspace ignores the errors and continues to use its references to these dangling entities, a UAF will promptly follow. We have 2 options; continue to return the error, but ensure that all of the infrastructure is torn down accordingly or continue to treat this condition as a warning by emitting the message but returning success. It is thought that the original author's intention was to emit the warning but keep the device functional, less the force feedback feature, so let's go with that.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's HID Logitech HIDPP driver, specifically when handling the G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One. The issue arises if the force feedback initialization fails during the device probing process. In such cases, an error is returned and propagated before the userspace infrastructure, including sysfs and /dev/input, has been properly dismantled. If userspace disregards these errors and continues to reference the now-dangling entities, a use-after-free condition will occur.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for updating the kernel can be found in the official Linux documentation or through the package manager for your Linux distribution.
