AI-suggested
A fix is available that removes the premature of_node_put() call in as3722_get_regulator_dt_data to maintain the device tree node reference correctly. Users should apply the official Linux kernel patches that address this issue. Since this is not a cloud service, system administrators must update affected kernel versions to remediate the vulnerability.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's regulator driver (as3722_get_regulator_dt_data) was fixed to address a premature release of a device tree node reference, which caused a dangling pointer. This flaw involved calling of_node_put() too early, releasing a reference that the device still used, potentially leading to memory corruption or system instability.
