CVE-2022-49242 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: mxs: Fix error handling in mxs_sgtl5000_probe

This function only calls of_node_put() in the regular path. And it will cause refcount leak in error paths. For example when codec_np is NULL saif_np[0] and saif_np[1] are not NULL it will cause leaks.

of_node_put() will check if the node pointer is NULL so we can call it directly to release the refcount of regular pointers.
