CVE-2024-50197

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: intel: platform: fix error path in device_for_each_child_node() The device_for_each_child_node() loop requires calls to fwnode_handle_put() upon early returns to decrement the refcount of the child node and avoid leaking memory if that error path is triggered. There is one early returns within that loop in intel_platform_pinctrl_prepare_community(), but fwnode_handle_put() is missing. Instead of adding the missing call, the scoped version of the loop can be used to simplify the code and avoid mistakes in the future if new early returns are added, as the child node is only used for parsing, and it is never assigned.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: pinctrl: intel: platform: fix error path in device_for_each_child_node() El bucle device_for_each_child_node() requiere llamadas a fwnode_handle_put() en retornos tempranos para decrementar el refcount del nodo secundario y evitar fugas de memoria si se activa esa ruta de error. Hay un retorno temprano dentro de ese bucle en intel_platform_pinctrl_prepare_community(), pero falta fwnode_handle_put(). En lugar de agregar la llamada faltante, la versión con ámbito del bucle se puede usar para simplificar el código y evitar errores en el futuro si se agregan nuevos retornos tempranos, ya que el nodo secundario solo se usa para analizar y nunca se asigna.
