CVE-2026-43152 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: hid-pl: handle probe errors Errors in init must be reported back or we'll follow a NULL pointer the first time FF is used.
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's handling of probe errors within the HID (Human Interface Device) subsystem, specifically in the PantherLord force feedback driver for USB/PS2 adapters. The issue arises because errors during the initialization process are not properly reported, leading to a potential NULL pointer dereference the first time force feedback is used. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the patched version can be found in the Linux kernel documentation.
