CVE-2024-36959 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: devicetree: fix refcount leak in pinctrl_dt_to_map() If we fail to allocate propname buffer, we need to drop the reference count we just took. Because the pinctrl_dt_free_maps() includes the droping operation, here we call it directly.
A reference count leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's pinctrl devicetree management. This issue arises in the 'pinctrl_dt_to_map' function, where failure to allocate a buffer for property names can lead to a memory leak. The vulnerability is present in the Linux kernel prior to the fix implemented in version 5.10.218.
Users can upgrade to Linux kernel version 5.10.218 or later to address this vulnerability.
