Linux Kernel HID Elan Double Free Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A potential double free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's HID Elan driver. The issue arises because the 'input' resource is managed by 'devm_input_allocate_device()', which automatically handles registration and deallocation. However, an explicit call to 'input_free_device()' could lead to a double free situation.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a double free condition, which may lead to memory corruption.
