Summary

In the Linux kernel's pmdomain subsystem for MediaTek, there is an issue with use of a pointer to a freed device-tree node in error paths. The function scpsys_get_bus_protection_legacy() releases the node before checking the regmap lookup result, then uses it in the error message, potentially leading to dereferencing freed memory.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to system crashes or unpredictable behavior when an error occurs during driver initialization, potentially affecting system stability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that keeps the node reference until after the error message is emitted.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: mediatek: fix remaining %pOF after of_node_put() scpsys_get_bus_protection_legacy() looks up several legacy bus protection regmaps from device-tree nodes. Two error paths put the device node before checking whether the regmap lookup failed, but still pass that node to dev_err_probe() with %pOF on failure. If of_node_put() drops the last reference, the later %pOF formatting can dereference a freed device node. Keep the node reference until after the error message has been emitted in the infracfg and SMI lookup paths. Also drop the SMI node before returning when the SMI phandle is missing.
