CVE-2023-54205 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: stm32: Fix refcount leak in stm32_pctrl_get_irq_domain of_irq_find_parent() 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 subsystem for STM32 devices. The issue arises in the function 'stm32_pctrl_get_irq_domain', which fails to properly decrement the reference count of a node pointer returned by 'of_irq_find_parent'. This oversight can lead to memory management issues. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel stable tree by adding the missing 'of_node_put' call to properly manage the reference count and prevent the leak.
