CVE-2022-49976: Chuwi Hi8 touchscreen fails on Windows version of BIOS
CVE-2022-49976
Summary
A fix has been made to the Linux kernel to prevent the touchscreen from malfunctioning on the Chuwi Hi8 tablet when it's running Windows. This issue was specific to the way the tablet handled its touchscreen with specific BIOS versions. To resolve this, the kernel now checks the BIOS version and skips the problematic code when running on Windows.
What to do
No fix is available yet. Check with your software vendor for updates.

Original description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: Fix broken touchscreen on Chuwi Hi8 with Windows BIOS
The x86-android-tablets handling for the Chuwi Hi8 is only necessary with
the Android BIOS and it is causing problems with the Windows BIOS version.
Specifically when trying to register the already present touchscreen
x86_acpi_irq_helper_get() calls acpi_unregister_gsi(), this breaks
the working of the touchscreen and also leads to an oops:

Add an init callback for the Chuwi Hi8, which detects when the Windows BIOS
is in use and exits with -ENODEV in that case, fixing this.
