HIDAPI joystick drivers may call HIDAPI_JoystickDisconnected() in their
UpdateDevice() function during HIDAPI_JoystickOpen(). If they do this
today, the opened joystick will end up partially initialized (no name,
path, mapping GUID, etc.) because HIDAPI_GetDeviceByIndex() will no
longer be able to find the SDL_HIDAPI_Device for the removed joystick.
Worse still, joystick->hwdata->device becomes a dangling freed pointer
the next time HIDAPI_UpdateDeviceList() is called. This leads to a UAF
when the application or SDL calls SDL_JoystickClose() on this joystick.
Fix all this by checking if the device no longer has any associated
joysticks after calling UpdateDevice() and failing the open call if so.

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 2.0
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting with README.md
Enjoy!
