In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: logitech-dj: Fix maxfield check in DJ short report validation
Commit b6a57912854e ("HID: logitech-dj: Prevent REPORT_ID_DJ_SHORT
related user initiated OOB write") added validation for the DJ short
output report, but the error path dereferences rep->field[0] even when
rep->maxfield is zero.
Commit 8b9a097eb2fc ("HID: logitech-dj: fix wrong detection of bad
DJ_SHORT output report") made the check conditional on rep being present,
but a crafted descriptor can still create report ID 0x20 with only padding
output items. hid-core registers the report, ignores the padding field,
and leaves rep->maxfield as zero.
In that case the validation enters the rep->maxfield < 1 branch and then
dereferences rep->field[0]->report_count while printing the error message,
causing a NULL pointer dereference during probe. This is reproducible with
uhid by emulating a Logitech receiver with a padding-only DJ short output
