CVE-2026-23314 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regulator: bq257xx: Fix device node reference leak in bq257xx_reg_dt_parse_gpio() In bq257xx_reg_dt_parse_gpio(), if fails to get subchild, it returns without calling of_node_put(child), causing the device node reference leak.
A device node reference leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's bq257xx regulator driver. The issue arises in the function bq257xx_reg_dt_parse_gpio(), where the code fails to properly release a device node reference if it cannot retrieve a subchild node. This oversight can lead to a memory leak by not returning the reference to the device node management system.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
