CVE-2023-54111 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: rockchip: Fix refcount leak in rockchip_pinctrl_parse_groups of_find_node_by_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, We should use of_node_put() on it when not needed anymore. Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
A refcount leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's pinctrl driver for Rockchip SoCs. The issue arises in the function 'rockchip_pinctrl_parse_groups', where a node pointer returned by 'of_find_node_by_phandle' is not properly released using 'of_node_put' after it is no longer needed. This oversight can lead to a memory leak by failing to decrement the reference count of the node, potentially causing increased memory usage over time.
The vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel. Users can upgrade to the latest version of the stable Linux kernel to apply the fix.
