- Summary
- cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node
In the parseperfdomain function, if the call to ofparsephandlewithargs returns an error, then the reference to the CPU device node that was acquired at the start of the function would not be properly decremented.
Address this by declaring the variable with the _free(devicenode) cleanup attribute.
