Refcount Leak Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affecting ARM OMAP2+
CVE-2022-50204
What is CVE-2022-50204?
A refcount leak vulnerability was identified in the Linux Kernel, specifically affecting the ARM OMAP2+ platform. During the execution of pdata_quirks_init_clocks(), a flaw exists where the function of_find_node_by_name() is called without a corresponding of_node_put(), leading to a potential resource leak. This can unnecessarily consume system resources and could be exploited under certain conditions, prompting the need for a security update to address this issue.
