[PATCH] HID: wacom: fix NULL pointer dereference in wacom_intuos_pad()
Posted by Jinmo Yang 1 day, 2 hours ago
wacom_intuos_pad() dereferences wacom->pad_input without a NULL check.
When a Wacom tablet is created via UHID with parameters that route
through wacom_bpt_irq() -> wacom_intuos_irq() -> wacom_intuos_pad(),
but probe did not allocate pad_input, the call to
wacom_report_numbered_buttons() passes a NULL input_dev, causing a
general protection fault in input_get_drvdata().

Add a NULL check for pad_input at the top of wacom_intuos_pad() to
bail out early when the pad input device was not set up.

The bug was found by syzkaller and confirmed on a Pixel 9 Pro
(Android 16, kernel 6.1.124) where it causes an immediate kernel
panic and reboot via /dev/uhid without requiring root privileges:

  KP: Oops: Fatal exception: comm:wacom_27qhdt
  Reboot reason: 0xbaba - Kernel PANIC

Reproducer (unprivileged):
  open("/dev/uhid", O_RDWR)
  write(fd, UHID_CREATE2{vendor=0x056a, product=0x0020})
  write(fd, UHID_INPUT2{report_id=0x0c, size=10})
