Subject: [PATCH] Input: ati_remote2 - fix type confusion in device attribute handlers
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 12:03:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009040302.3087205-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
The channel_mask and mode_mask attributes are instantiated by the driver
core through struct usb_driver::dev_groups, so they are attached to the
usb_interface bound to the driver, not to the usb_device. The four
show/store handlers still call to_usb_device(dev), which applies the
struct usb_device container_of() to a struct usb_interface::dev and thus
produces a bogus usb_device pointer. usb_ifnum_to_if() reads that
pointer as udev->actconfig and dereferences it, and its result is passed
to usb_get_intfdata() without any NULL check, so reading or writing the
world-readable attributes can crash the kernel.
Use to_usb_interface(dev) so the handlers recover the interface that the
attributes belong to, matching the other drivers converted to dev_groups.
Fixes: b20d6bf8014b ("Input: ati-remote2 - use driver core to instantiate device attributes")
