In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: alps: unregister DualPoint Stick input device on remove
alps input configured() allocates a second input device ("DualPoint
Stick") with input allocate device() and registers it, but the
alps driver struct has no .remove handler and input2 is not tracked in
hdev->inputs. The default remove path (hid hw stop -> hidinput disconnect)
only iterates hdev->inputs, so input2 is never unregistered and leaks
on every device removal.
Add a .remove handler that stops the device first (preventing URB
callbacks from touching input2 during teardown) and then unregisters
input2.
