Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> usb: musb: omap2430: Do not put borrowed of_node in probe<br /> <br /> omap2430_probe() stores pdev-&gt;dev.of_node in a local np variable. This is<br /> a borrowed pointer and the probe function does not take a reference to<br /> it.<br /> <br /> The success and error paths nevertheless call of_node_put(np). This drops<br /> a reference that is owned by the platform device, and can leave<br /> pdev-&gt;dev.of_node with an unbalanced reference count.<br /> <br /> Do not put the borrowed platform device node from omap2430_probe().<br /> References taken for the child MUSB device are handled by the device core,<br /> and the ctrl-module phandle reference is still released separately.
