Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-18 12:11:00 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

soc: qcom: ocmem: Fix refcount leak in of_get_ocmem

of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
of_node_put() will check NULL pointer.
