{"id":"CVE-2026-98502","summary":"HID: alps: unregister DualPoint Stick input device on remove","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nHID: alps: unregister DualPoint Stick input device on remove\n\nalps_input_configured() allocates a second input device (\"DualPoint\nStick\") with input_allocate_device() and registers it, but the\nalps_driver struct has no .remove handler and input2 is not tracked in\nhdev-\u003einputs.  The default remove path (hid_hw_stop -\u003e hidinput_disconnect)\nonly iterates hdev-\u003einputs, so input2 is never unregistered and leaks\non every device removal.\n\nAdd a .remove handler that stops the device first (preventing URB\ncallbacks from touching input2 during teardown) and then unregisters\ninput2.","modified":"2026-10-19T02:46:30.266300147Z","published":"2026-10-18T15:16:51.221Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98502.json"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1170ebfba562b3938ff7749b2e42e4420f19436d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/978e801750c7b0859e87eae619f7d88fcd88333e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa4845a710ae9fee6a3831f5c338904cea77c3aa"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa9dde93e05a837645fdfd577eea71f0733f0694"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98502.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98502"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"2562756dde550901c224e3805102bdfc17e7d13a"},{"fixed":"1170ebfba562b3938ff7749b2e42e4420f19436d"},{"fixed":"aa4845a710ae9fee6a3831f5c338904cea77c3aa"},{"fixed":"978e801750c7b0859e87eae619f7d88fcd88333e"},{"fixed":"aa9dde93e05a837645fdfd577eea71f0733f0694"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98502.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"4.8.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.112"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.55"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98502.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
