wacom_intuos_pad() accesses wacom->shared->touch_input locklessly
inside the interrupt handler context. If the Touch sibling device
is disconnected, wacom_remove_shared_data() clears 'touch_input'
outside any lock, creating a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU)
race condition where a preempted reader in interrupt context
dereferences the freed pointer, leading to a Use-After-Free.
Resolve this by introducing RCU protection for the touch_input
pointer:
- Annotate 'touch_input' in wacom_shared struct with __rcu
- Wrap all lockless readers in wacom_wac.c with rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_dereference() using a unified wacom_report_touch_mute()
helper
- Update writers in wacom_sys.c using rcu_assign_pointer()
- Call synchronize_rcu() in wacom_remove_shared_data() to ensure
all active RCU readers have finished before the input device is
freed
Also wrap wacom_set_shared_values() and touch/pen assignments in
wacom_add_shared_data() inside the wacom_udev_list_lock to serialize
concurrent probe assignments, and verify that 'shared->touch == hdev'
before setting touch_input to prevent concurrent sibling probe state
desynchronization.
Finally, advertise the SW_MUTE_DEVICE capability on Touch input
devices prior to registration in wacom_setup_touch_input_capabilities()
to prevent invalid post-registration capability modifications.

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).

commit 4eb3f98aa9f594548c94852bcf57eb40ae946cd8
Author: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>
Subject: HID: wacom: Fix Use-After-Free in wacom_bamboo_pad
This commit resolves a Use-After-Free vulnerability in
wacom_bamboo_pad_pen_event() by introducing RCU protection for the pen and
touch pointers within the wacom_shared structure. It annotates the pointers
with __rcu, wraps lockless read access with rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_dereference(), and updates writers using the appropriate RCU assignment
primitives. It also updates pointer access in wacom_mode_change_work() to use
rcu_access_pointer() to avoid warnings.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does wacom_mode_change_work()
misuse rcu_access_pointer() here by fetching RCU-protected pointers without
holding rcu_read_lock(), which still leaves an exploitable Use-After-Free?
If the sibling device is unbound concurrently, its wacom_remove() triggers
wacom_remove_shared_data(), which nullifies the shared pointer and calls
synchronize_rcu(). Because the worker does not hold rcu_read_lock(),
synchronize_rcu() will not wait for it.
Doesn't this allow the sibling device to be completely freed while the worker
is still actively dereferencing its memory via hid_get_drvdata(),
wacom_release_resources(), and hid_hw_stop()?
Could using rcu_access_pointer() (which is explicitly intended for pointers
that will not be dereferenced) be papering over the underlying race condition
just to silence sparse/lockdep warnings?

The Wacom driver coordinates state between sibling interfaces of
the same physical device using a shared structure 'wacom_shared'
inside 'wacom_hdev_data'. The driver kept a volatile representative
pointer 'data->dev' pointing to a sibling 'hid_device' for physical
path comparisons during sibling matching.
This pointer management is fragile. When the representative device
is disconnected, wacom_remove_shared_data() failed to clear/update
'data->dev', leading to a Use-After-Free vulnerability when
subsequent sibling probes dereference the dangling 'data->dev'
pointer.
Resolve this issue by redesigning the sibling data lifecycle:
- Eliminate the volatile 'data->dev' representative pointer
completely
- Redesign 'wacom_hdev_data' to store stable static copies of the
required attributes upon first allocation: 'phys' path string,
'vendor', 'product' IDs and the sibling's 'device_type'
- Use these static attributes for stable sibling matching in
wacom_are_sibling() and wacom_get_hdev_data()
This ensures sibling matching remains safe and stable even if
individual siblings are dynamically added or removed.
To secure the lifecycle against concurrent probe/disconnect races:
- Switch kref_put() to kref_put_mutex() in
wacom_remove_shared_data() to serialize refcount drops with list
traversal and lookup
- Modify wacom_release_shared_data() to assume the list lock is
already held
Also, do not accumulate the 'device_type' capability flag during
subsequent sibling probes. Keeping only the first probed sibling's
device_type exactly preserves the original sibling matching behavior
without introducing side effects.

wacom_mode_change_work() called wacom_release_resources() before
hid_hw_stop(). wacom_release_resources() triggers devres cleanup
which calls wacom_remove_shared_data() to nullify wacom_wac->shared.
Since hid_hw_stop() was not called yet, hardware IRQs could still fire
and dereference the nullified wacom_wac->shared pointer, causing a crash.
Fix this by correcting the teardown order to call hid_hw_stop()
first, matching the order used in wacom_remove().

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 6 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] Missing synchronization between sibling device removal and `wacom_mode_change_work` leads to Use-After-Free and double `hid_hw_stop()`.
- [Critical] Missing synchronization allows multiple `wacom_mode_change_work` instances to execute concurrently on both siblings, leading to double teardown and state corruption.
- [Critical] Error paths in `wacom_parse_and_register()` after `hid_hw_start()` fail to call `hid_hw_stop()`, leaving hardware IRQs active after releasing resources.
- [High] If `wacom_parse_and_register()` fails for the first sibling device, the second device is permanently left in a stopped and uninitialized state.
- [High] Pending background workqueues and timers are not cancelled before releasing device resources in `wacom_mode_change_work`, violating subsystem teardown guidelines and causing UAF.
- [High] `wacom_remove()` cancels `mode_change_work` after stopping the hardware, creating a race that leaves the device started and permanently leaks HID interfaces.

HID: wacom: Fix teardown order in wacom_mode_change_work
wacom_mode_change_work() called wacom_release_resources() before
hid_hw_stop(), which could lead to a crash if hardware IRQs fire and
dereference the nullified shared pointer. This commit fixes the teardown
order to call hid_hw_stop() first.

This is a pre-existing issue, but is it possible for the shared device
pointers to be dereferenced after they are freed?
In wacom_mode_change_work(), the sibling device pointers are fetched:
struct hid_device *pen = rcu_access_pointer(shared->pen);
...
These pointers are accessed without holding an rcu_read_lock or acquiring
a device reference. If a sibling device is concurrently unbound,
wacom_remove() clears the shared pointer and calls synchronize_rcu(), but
it would not wait for this worker. Could this result in a use-after-free
when hid_hw_stop() is called on the stale pointer?
[Severity: Critical]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this function have
sufficient synchronization if mode change events arrive concurrently on
both pen and touch interfaces?
Since the code unconditionally operates on both sibling devices without
locking:
wacom1 = hid_get_drvdata(pen);
hid_hw_stop(wacom1->hdev);
wacom_release_resources(wacom1);
If both devices independently schedule their own mode_change_work, could
both workers run simultaneously and race to call wacom_release_resources()
on the exact same pointers, potentially causing a double-free in the
devres core?
> wacom1 = hid_get_drvdata(pen);
> - wacom_release_resources(wacom1);
> hid_hw_stop(wacom1->hdev);
> + wacom_release_resources(wacom1);
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but are we certain all background tasks
are cancelled before releasing resources here?
Unlike wacom_remove(), wacom_mode_change_work() does not cancel pending
tasks like init_work before calling wacom_release_resources(). Since
wacom_release_resources() destroys devres allocations (such as led groups),
could a delayed wacom_init_work() execute concurrently and access these
freed structures, resulting in a use-after-free?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but what happens to the second
device if re-registration fails for the first one?
Looking at the rest of wacom_mode_change_work():
if (wacom1) {
error = wacom_parse_and_register(wacom1, false);
if (error)
return;
}
if (wacom2) {
...
}
If wacom_parse_and_register() fails for wacom1, the early return bypasses
the initialization for wacom2. Does this permanently leave the touch
interface hardware stopped and its resources released without recovery?
[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is there a missing hardware teardown
in the error handling path of wacom_parse_and_register()?
When an error occurs after hid_hw_start() succeeds:
drivers/hid/wacom_sys.c:wacom_parse_and_register() {
...
fail_quirks:
hid_hw_stop(hdev);
fail:
wacom_release_resources(wacom);
return error;
}
The goto fail jumps past hid_hw_stop(hdev). Does this leave the hid
hardware running while its resources are freed, allowing subsequent
hardware irqs to trigger wacom_raw_event() and cause a use-after-free?
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does wacom_remove()
cancel the mode_change_work too late?
In wacom_remove(), the cancellation happens after stopping the hardware:
drivers/hid/wacom_sys.c:wacom_remove() {
hid_hw_stop(hdev);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&wacom->init_work);
...
cancel_work_sync(&wacom->mode_change_work);
}
If mode_change_work is pending and runs after hid_hw_stop(), it will
call wacom_parse_and_register(), which invokes hid_hw_start(hdev).
Once cancel_work_sync() returns, wacom_remove() completes without
re-stopping the hardware. Could this permanently leak the active hid
interfaces?

This commit resolves a time-of-check to time-of-use race condition in
wacom_intuos_pad() that could lead to a use-after-free. It introduces
RCU protection for the touch_input pointer, wrapping lockless readers
with rcu_read_lock() and writers with rcu_assign_pointer().

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it possible for a sibling device to
still be used after this synchronize_rcu() call?
Looking at wacom_mode_change_work(), it reads shared->pen and shared->touch
locklessly:
drivers/hid/wacom_sys.c:wacom_mode_change_work() {
...
if (shared->pen) {
wacom1 = hid_get_drvdata(shared->pen);
wacom_release_resources(wacom1);
hid_hw_stop(wacom1->hdev);
...
}
If a context switch occurs right after shared->pen is evaluated as true,
could a sibling device be physically disconnected, triggering
wacom_remove_shared_data() to nullify shared->pen and free the object?
Because wacom_mode_change_work() does not hold an rcu_read_lock(), this
synchronize_rcu() wouldn't block it. When the workqueue resumes, could it
pass the now-freed pointer to hid_get_drvdata() and cause a use-after-free?
