  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhwmon: (gigabyte_waterforce) Stop device IO before calling hid_hw_stop\n\nCalling hid_hw_stop() does not stop the device IO.\nThis results in a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point\nimmediately following the execution of hid_device_io_start() within\nthe driver probe function. If the probe operation fails after \"io start\"\nhas been initiated, this race condition will result in a UAF vulnerability.\n\nFix the problem by calling hid_device_io_stop() before calling\nhid_hw_stop().",
