In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free
At probe time this code path is followed:
* tegra_csi_init
* tegra_csi_channels_alloc
* for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
* automatically gets 'channel'
* tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
* saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
* automatically gets and puts 'channel'
* now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
* tegra_csi_channels_init
* iterates over channels
* tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node
After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is
removed.
of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any
risk.
