Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
pmdomain: mediatek: fix use-after-free in scpsys_get_bus_protection_legacy()<br />
<br />
In scpsys_get_bus_protection_legacy(), of_find_node_with_property()<br />
returns a device node with its reference count incremented. The function<br />
then calls of_node_put(node) before checking whether<br />
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() returns an error. If an error occurs,<br />
dev_err_probe() dereferences the node pointer to print diagnostic<br />
information, but the node memory may have already been freed due to the<br />
earlier of_node_put(), leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.<br />
<br />
Fix this by moving the of_node_put() call after the error check, ensuring<br />
the node is still valid when accessed in the error path.
