[PATCH] HID: saitek: don't dereference a NULL hidinput in saitek_event()

flat view
WARM3d

From: Nguyen Ngoc Thang <hidden>

Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: hid core layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds

hid_process_event() calls the driver's ->event() for every usage of a
report, including fields that hidinput did not map to any input device,
e.g. a constant input item. For those fields field->hidinput is NULL,
and saitek_event() loads field->hidinput->input unconditionally:

  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000018-0x000000000000001f]
  RIP: 0010:saitek_event+0x51/0x2b0 drivers/hid/hid-saitek.c:154
   hid_process_event drivers/hid/hid-core.c:1572
   hid_report_raw_event drivers/hid/hid-core.c:2109
   hid_input_report drivers/hid/hid-core.c:2180
   hid_irq_in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c

A device that claims to be a Saitek MMO7 and uses such a descriptor
triggers it with a single input report.

Bail out early when the field has no input device, as the other HID
drivers implementing ->event() already do.
