The name would\nsubsequently be used in a uevent fired at the end of unregistering the\ninput_dev."

"value": "AV:A - hid-nvidia-shield's id_table explicitly includes HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE for the Thunderstrike controller (and Kconfig depends on BT_HIDP), so an in-range attacker can connect a crafted Bluetooth HID device and disconnect it to trigger the UAF; Adjacent is higher severity than the USB-only Physical path.\nAC:L - Probe unconditionally allocates the input_dev name via devm against &idev->dev when haptics are enabled, and disconnect reliably hits the free-then-uevent teardown ordering with no race or attacker-uncontrollable condition required.\nPR:N - Bluetooth HID enumeration and driver bind/unbind run from kernel hotplug with no account, capability, or authentication on the target; the attacker needs no local privileges on the victim system.\nUI:N - The attacker performs connect and disconnect themselves (or via Just Works / auto-reconnect HID pairing), and the kernel probe/teardown path fires the uevent without requiring the victim to open a file or otherwise interact.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state within the same OS security authority; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The freed input_dev name string is read via %s into the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent, so a groomed reallocation of the kmalloc object yields disclosure of attacker-chosen heap contents; kernel UAF is scored High confidentiality.\nI:H - The UAF is a sprayable kmalloc object whose dangling pointer is consumed during teardown; heap grooming enables overlapping objects and control-flow/write primitives, so integrity impact is High per UAF guidance.\nA:H - Use of the freed name during uevent generation reliably produces a kernel oops/panic (or KASAN slab-use-after-free), and the attacker can repeat connect/disconnect at will."
