In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: appletb-kbd: fix memory corruption of input_handler_list In appletb_kbd_probe an input handler is initialised and then registered with input core through input_register_handler(). When this happens input core will add the input handler (specifically its node) to the global input_handler_list. The input_handler_list is central to the functionality of input core and is traversed in various places in input core. An example of this is when a new input device is plugged in and gets registered with input core. The input_handler in probe is allocated as device managed memory. If a probe failure occurs after input_register_handler() the input_handler memory is freed, yet it will remain in the input_handler_list. This effec
