How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-source to version 5.14.21-150400.24.194.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-source package and not the kernel-source package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free

At probe time this code path is followed:

  • tegra_csi_init
    • tegra_csi_channels_alloc
      • for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
        • automatically gets 'channel'
          • tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
            • saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
        • automatically gets and puts 'channel'
        • now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
    • tegra_csi_channels_init
      • iterates over channels
        • tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node

After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is removed.

of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any risk.
