CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's omap2430_probe() function, where a premature call to of_node_put() can lead to a use-after-free condition if the reference count of a node drops to zero. This flaw can potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a system crash, posing a significant risk to systems utilizing the affected kernel version. Organizations using Linux systems with the omap2430 architecture should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate the associated risks.
Original NVD Description
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.
