CVE-2022-50458 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: tegra: Fix refcount leak in tegra210_clock_init of_find_matching_node() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore. Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
A refcount leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Tegra210 clock management. The issue arises in the 'tegra210_clock_init' function, where a node pointer returned by 'of_find_matching_node' has its reference count incremented. The function fails to release this reference when it is no longer needed, leading to a memory leak. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to a patched version of the Linux kernel that includes the missing 'of_node_put' call in the Tegra210 clock initialization function. The official Linux Kernel Git repository can be checked out for the latest stable version.
