CVE-2025-68367
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macintosh/mac_hid: fix race condition in mac_hid_toggle_emumouse
The following warning appears when running syzkaller, and this issue also exists in the mainline code.
The WARNING occurs when two processes concurrently write to the mac-hid emulation sysctl, causing a race condition in mac_hid_toggle_emumouse(). Both processes read old_val=0, then both try to register the input handler, leading to a double list_add of the same handler.
Fix this by moving the old_val read inside the mutex lock region.
