UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21992: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which systems are exposed to the hang condition?

Systems using an HP 5MP Camera with USB ID 0408:5473 are affected when its reported HID sensor interface is exposed to userspace. The issue is listed for Ubuntu linux-riscv, linux-realtime, linux-hwe-edge, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, and linux-raspi-realtime packages.

Q: What action triggers the problem?

Attempting to access the camera's non-functional HID sensor through iio_info can cause a system hang. Runtime power management attempts to wake the unresponsive sensor interface.

Q: What can be done before an update is available?

Avoid using iio_info or otherwise accessing the HID sensor interface associated with USB device 0408:5473. The resolved kernel behavior is to ignore this non-functional sensor so it is not exposed to userspace.

Q: How can I identify the affected hardware?

Check for an HP 5MP Camera reporting USB vendor and product ID 0408:5473. Kernel messages may identify the device as hid-sensor-hub 0003:0408:5473.0003.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: ignore non-functional sensor in HP 5MP Camera The HP 5MP Camera (USB ID 0408:5473) reports a HID sensor interface that is not actually implemented. Attempting to access this non-functional sensor via iioinfo causes system hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up an unresponsive sensor. [453] hid-sensor-hub 0003:0408:5473.0003: Report latency attributes: ffffffff:ffffffff [453] hid-sensor-hub 0003:0408:5473.0003: common attributes: 5:1, 2:1, 3:1 ffffffff:ffffffff Add this device to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is non-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace.
