Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: nintendo: fix rumble worker null pointer deref

We can dereference a null pointer trying to queue work to a destroyed workqueue.

If the device is disconnected, nintendohidremove is called, in which the rumblequeue is destroyed. Avoid using that queue to defer rumble work once the controller state is set to JOYCONCTLRSTATEREMOVED.

This eliminates the null pointer dereference.
