AI-suggested

A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel. Users should apply the updated kernel versions that include the corrected attribute handlers using to_usb_interface().

Description

A type confusion vulnerability was fixed in the Linux kernel's ati_remote2 input driver. The issue involved device attribute handlers incorrectly using to_usb_device() on a usb_interface pointer, leading to invalid pointer usage. This was due to a change in how device attributes were managed, moving from the parent usb_device to the bound usb_interface devices without updating the callbacks accordingly.
