Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 14:05:20 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free

At probe time this code path is followed:

 * tegra_csi_init
   * tegra_csi_channels_alloc
     * for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
       * automatically gets 'channel'
         * tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
           * saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
       * automatically gets and puts 'channel'
       * now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
   * tegra_csi_channels_init
     * iterates over channels
       * tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node

After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is
removed.

of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any
risk.
