Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs when a USB device, containing both HID and storage or Universal Attached SCSI (UAS) components, is reset. During the reset process, memory allocation operations within the hid_post_reset() function can attempt block input/output (I/O) while a mutex is held, leading to a deadlock. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
