Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hwmon: (corsair-cpro) driver. A race condition can occur during the driver's initialization process if device input/output (IO) is started but then fails. This timing issue can lead to a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability, where the system attempts to access memory that has already been released. This critical flaw could potentially allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a system crash (denial of service).
Statement
This issue affects Corsair Commander Pro (corsair-cpro hwmon). HID I/O not stopped before hid_hw_stop on probe failure can UAF. Systems without this hardware are not affected.
