[PATCH 3/4] HID: wacom: Fix Use-After-Free in wacom_bamboo_pad

From: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-07 12:11:10
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hid core layer, hid wacom driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Ping Cheng, Jason Gerecke, Linus Torvalds

wacom_bamboo_pad_pen_event() accesses wacom->shared->pen locklessly
relative to wacom_remove_shared_data() which nullifies it.  This
can lead to a Use-After-Free if the sibling device is removed while
events are being processed.

Resolve this by introducing RCU protection for pen and touch
pointers:

 - Annotate 'pen' and 'touch' in wacom_shared struct with __rcu.
 - Wrap lockless readers in wacom_bamboo_pad_pen_event() with
   rcu_read_lock() and rcu_dereference().
 - Update writers in wacom_sys.c using rcu_assign_pointer().
 - Use rcu_dereference_protected for comparisons under
   wacom_udev_list_lock.
 - Also use rcu_access_pointer in wacom_mode_change_work() to avoid
   warnings (while lockless access there remains a pre-existing issue).

Fixes: 8c97a765467c ("HID: wacom: add full support of the Wacom Bamboo PAD")
Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>

v1 -> v2: Split and use RCU as per Dmitry's review
v2 -> v3: Sashiko fixes
v3 -> v4: Dmitry's review [guard()]
v4 -> v5: No change
