Summary

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's USB MUSB driver for the OMAP2430 platform. The omap2430_probe() function calls of_node_put(np) before the last access to the node, potentially leading to use of freed memory.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could allow a local attacker with system access to cause a kernel panic or potentially escalate privileges by exploiting the memory management flaw.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that moves of_node_put() calls after the last use of the node in omap2430_probe().

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
