Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description An issue exists in the omap2430 probe() function where it stores pdev->dev.of node in a local np variable. Because this is a borrowed pointer and the function does not take a reference to it, calling of node put(np) in the success and error paths drops a reference owned by the platform device. This results in an unbalanced reference count for pdev->dev.of node.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
