CVE-2022-27950 [MEDIUM] CWE-401 kernel: memory leak in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c
kernel: memory leak in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c
In drivers/hid/hid-elo.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.11, a memory leak exists for a certain hid_parse error condition.
A memory leak flaw was found in elo_probe in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c in the Human Interface Devices (HID) in the Linux kernel. This issue allows an attacker to cause a denial of service when hid_parse() in elo_probe() fails.
Mitigation: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
