CVE-2022-50745: staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free

Published Dec 24, 2025

Updated

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

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

At probe time this code path is followed:

tegracsiinit tegracsichannelsalloc foreachchildofnode(node, channel) -- iterates over channels automatically gets 'channel' tegracsichannelalloc() saves into chan->ofnode a pointer to the channel OF node automatically gets and puts 'channel' now the node saved in chan->ofnode has refcount 0, can disappear tegracsichannelsinit iterates over channels tegracsichannelinit -- uses chan->ofnode

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

ofnodeget() the node and ofnodeput() it during teardown to avoid any risk.
