CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description: The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the Wacom HID driver related to the wacom aes battery handler() function. A crash can occur if a Wacom device is removed while the aes battery work is pending, potentially leading to hard crashes or a general protection fault. This issue was introduced by commit fd2a9b29dc9c, which added the wacom aes battery handler() function scheduled as a delayed work item. The problem arises because aes battery work is not canceled in the wacom remove() function.
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
