Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] HID: wacom: Fix Use-After-Free in wacom_bamboo_pad
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 13:13:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609121353.3743782-2-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609121353.3743782-1-lee@kernel.org>
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
