+Subject: [PATCH] Xi: do not keep linked list pointer during recursion
+
+The `DisableDevice()` function is called whenever an enabled device
+is disabled and it moves the device from the `inputInfo.devices` linked
+list to the `inputInfo.off_devices` linked list.
+
+However, its link/unlink operation has an issue during the recursive
+call to `DisableDevice()` due to the `prev` pointer pointing to a
+removed device.
+
+This issue leads to a length mismatch between the total number of
+devices and the number of device in the list, leading to a heap
+overflow and, possibly, to local privilege escalation.
+
+Simplify the code that checked whether the device passed to
+`DisableDevice()` was in `inputInfo.devices` or not and find the
+previous device after the recursion.
+
+CVE-2024-21886, ZDI-CAN-22840

+This vulnerability was discovered by:
+Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
