- [High] HID: wacom: unintended fall-through for pad packets causes data corruption or crash

HID: wacom: check the input device in wacom_intuos_pad()
wacom_intuos_pad() takes wacom->pad_input without checking it. An
interface that declares no pad leaves the pointer NULL on a fully
successful probe, and wacom_intuos_irq() still calls this function for
pad report ids.

[Severity: High]
Does returning 0 here for a pad packet cause it to fall through and be misparsed
by other handlers?
In wacom_intuos_irq(), if wacom_intuos_pad() returns 0, the packet falls through
to wacom_intuos_inout():
drivers/hid/wacom_wac.c:wacom_intuos_irq() {
...
/* process pad events */
result = wacom_intuos_pad(wacom);
if (result)
return result;
/* process in/out prox events */
result = wacom_intuos_inout(wacom);
...
}
Because wacom_intuos_inout() only checks data[1] and doesn't verify the report
ID in data[0]:
drivers/hid/wacom_wac.c:wacom_intuos_inout() {
...
if (!(((data[1] & 0xfc) == 0xc0) || /* in prox */
((data[1] & 0xfe) == 0x20) || /* in range */
((data[1] & 0xfe) == 0x80))) /* out prox */
return 0;
...
}
If data[1] of the unhandled pad packet happens to match one of these proximity
bitmasks (like 0x80 for out-prox), wacom_intuos_inout() will misparse the
packet. If it hits the out-prox case, it calls wacom_exit_report() which
dereferences wacom->pen_input. If pen_input is NULL (e.g. on a touch-only
interface), could this cause another NULL pointer dereference?
Should this !input check be placed after validating data[0], and return 1 to
correctly consume the report without falling through?
