Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's macintosh/mac_hid component. A local attacker could exploit a race condition in the mac_hid_toggle_emumouse() function by concurrently writing to the mac-hid emulation sysctl. This could lead to a double addition of an input handler, resulting in a system warning and potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
