CVE-2026-45969 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: playstation: Add missing check for input_ff_create_memless The ps_gamepad_create() function calls input_ff_create_memless() without verifying its return value, which can lead to incorrect behavior or potential crashes when FF effects are triggered. Add a check for the return value of input_ff_create_memless().
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's HID Playstation driver, specifically within the 'ps_gamepad_create()' function. The issue arises because the function calls 'input_ff_create_memless()' without checking its return value. This oversight can lead to improper behavior or crashes when force feedback (FF) effects are activated. The 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. The specific commit that resolves this issue is 'e6807641ac94e832988655a1c0e60ccc806b76dc', which is included in the official Linux kernel repositories.
