Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-09 01:03:07 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HSI: omap_ssi: Fix refcount leak in ssi_probe

When returning or breaking early from a
for_each_available_child_of_node() loop, we need to explicitly call
of_node_put() on the child node to possibly release the node.
