CVE-2026-64603

EUVD-2026-53789
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/x86: intel-hid: Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion

Since commit e2ffcda16290 ("ACPI: OSL: Allow Notify () handlers to run on
all CPUs") ACPI notify handlers like the intel-hid notify_handler() may
run on multiple CPU cores racing with themselves.

On convertibles and detachables (matched by DMI chassis-type 31 and 32 in
dmi_auto_add_switch[]) the SW_TABLET_MODE input device is registered
lazily from notify_handler() on the first tablet-mode event, via
intel_hid_switches_setup(). When two such events race on different CPUs
both can pass the !priv->switches check and register the priv->switches
input device twice, resulting in a duplicate sysfs entry and a subsequent
NULL pointer dereference.

This is the same class of bug fixed by commit e075c3b13a0a ("platform/x86:
intel-vbtn: Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion") for the
sibling intel-vbtn driver.

Protect intel-hid notify_handler() from racing with itself with a mutex
to fix this.
