How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-obs-qa to version 6.12.0-160000.38.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-qa package and not the kernel-obs-qa package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

usb: musb: omap2430: Do not put borrowed of_node in probe

omap2430_probe() stores pdev->dev.of_node in a local np variable. This is a borrowed pointer and the probe function does not take a reference to it.

The success and error paths nevertheless call of_node_put(np). This drops a reference that is owned by the platform device, and can leave pdev->dev.of_node with an unbalanced reference count.

Do not put the borrowed platform device node from omap2430_probe(). References taken for the child MUSB device are handled by the device core, and the ctrl-module phandle reference is still released separately.
