CVE-2022-49683

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A refcount leak issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the adi-axi-adc driver. The of parse phandle() function returns a node pointer with an incremented refcount, which should be decremented using of node put() when no longer needed to prevent a refcount leak.

Recommendations For the affected Linux kernel versions, add a missing of node put() call to avoid the refcount leak in the adi axi adc attach client function. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
