CVE-2021-46932 | Date: (C)2024-02-27 (M)2024-06-14 |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: appletouch - initialize work before device registration
Syzbot has reported warning in __flush_work(). This warning is caused by
work->func == NULL, which means missing work initialization.
This may happen, since input_dev->close() calls
cancel_work_sync(&dev->work), but dev->work initalization happens _after_
input_register_device() call.
So this patch moves dev->work initialization before registering input
device
