Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: cros_ec_keyb - fix an invalid memory access
If cros_ec_keyb_register_matrix() isn't called (due to
`buttons_switches_only`) in cros_ec_keyb_probe(), `ckdev->idev` remains
NULL. An invalid memory access is observed in cros_ec_keyb_process()
when receiving an EC_MKBP_EVENT_KEY_MATRIX event in cros_ec_keyb_work()
in such case.
Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000028
...
x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000
x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000
Call trace:
input_event
cros_ec_keyb_work
blocking_notifier_call_chain
ec_irq_thread
It's still unknown about why the kernel receives such malformed event,
in any cases, the kernel shouldn't access `ckdev->idev` and friends if
the driver doesn't intend to initialize them.
