What to do
AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel by correcting the order of of_node_put() calls in the omap2430_probe() function. Users and administrators should apply the official kernel updates or patches that include this fix. Since this is a kernel-level issue, updating to a patched kernel version is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the official Linux kernel advisories or vendor updates for the exact patched versions and remediation guidance.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: musb: omap2430: Fix use-after-free in omap2430_probe() In omap2430_probe(), of_node_put(np) is called prematurely before the last access to np, leading to a use-after-free if the node's reference count drops to zero. Move the of_node_put() calls after the last use of np in both the success and error paths.
