Hello, Thanks for the feedback. Best regards Kery Kery Qi [off-list ref] 于2026年1月15日周四 22:24写道:

Add validation for report->maxfield and report->field[0] before dereferencing to prevent NULL pointer dereference. The HID report descriptor is provided by the USB device firmware via USB control transfer (GET_DESCRIPTOR). A malicious device can craft a descriptor that defines an OUTPUT report without any usages (padding fields). When the HID subsystem parses such a descriptor: 1. hid_add_field() calls hid_register_report() to create the report object and stores it in report_id_hash[id] 2. Since parser->local.usage_index is 0, hid_add_field() returns early without calling hid_register_field() to add any fields 3. Result: report exists with maxfield=0 and field[0]=NULL When hidpp_probe() is called for a device matching this driver: - hidpp_validate_device() calls hidpp_get_report_length() - hidpp_get_report_length() retrieves the report from hash (not NULL) - It then dereferences report->field[0]->report_count - Since field[0] is NULL, this triggers a kernel NULL pointer dereference Data flow from attacker to crash: Malicious USB Device | v (USB GET_DESCRIPTOR control transfer) hid_get_class_descriptor() -- reads HID report descriptor from device | v hid_parse_report() -- stores descriptor in hid->dev_rdesc | v hid_open_report() -> hid_add_field() | | | v | hid_register_report() -- creates report, maxfield=0 | | | v | returns early if usage_index==0, no field added | v hidpp_validate_device() -> hidpp_get_report_length() | v report->field[0]->report_count -- NULL pointer dereference! This is triggerable by an attacker with physical access using a malicious USB device (e.g., BadUSB, programmable USB development boards).
