Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's regulator subsystem. This vulnerability arises from a programming error where a device tree node pointer is released too early, creating a "dangling pointer"—a reference to memory that is no longer valid. This can lead to system instability, potentially causing the system to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). In some scenarios, this type of memory corruption could also be exploited by a local attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 20:36:47 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: as3722_get_regulator_dt_data: fix premature of_node_put leaving dangling of_node pointer

In as3722_get_regulator_dt_data(), of_get_child_by_name() acquires a
reference on np, which is then assigned to pdev->dev.of_node. The
function immediately calls of_node_put(np), releasing the reference and
leaving pdev->dev.of_node as a dangling pointer.

Remove the of_node_put(np) call to let the device hold the reference.
