CVE-2026-64427 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: logitech-dj: Fix maxfield check in DJ short report validation Commit b6a57912854e ("HID: logitech-dj: Prevent REPORT_ID_DJ_SHORT related user initiated OOB write") added validation for the DJ short output report, but the error path dereferences rep->field[0] even when rep->maxfield is zero. Commit 8b9a097eb2fc ("HID: logitech-dj: fix wrong detection of bad DJ_SHORT output report") made the check conditional on rep being present, but a crafted descriptor can still create report ID 0x20 with only padding output items. hid-core registers the report, ignores the padding field, and leaves rep->maxfield as zero. In that case the validation enters the rep->maxfield < 1 branch and then dereferences rep->field[0]->report_count while printing the error message, causing a NULL pointer dereference during probe. This is reproducible with uhid by emulating a Logitech receiver with a padding-only DJ short output report: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in logi_dj_probe+0xb1/0x754 [hid_logitech_dj] Read of size 4 at addr 0000000000000028 by task kworker/4:1/129 ...

A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in the Logitech DJ HID driver of the Linux kernel. This issue arises during the validation of the DJ short output report. The vulnerability is present in the Linux kernel stable tree. The problem occurs because a crafted descriptor can create a report ID 0x20 with only padding output items, leaving the report's maxfield as zero. When the validation process attempts to dereference the report field to access the report count, it encounters a null pointer, leading to a crash. This vulnerability can be reproduced by emulating a Logitech receiver with a padding-only DJ short output report, which triggers the error during the device probing process.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
