Affected: Linux

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

mfd: sm501: Fix reference leak on failed device registration

When platform_device_register() fails in sm501_register_device(), the embedded struct device in pdev has already been initialized by device_initialize(), but the failure path only reports the error and returns without dropping the device reference for the current platform device:

sm501_register_device() -> platform_device_register(pdev) -> device_initialize(&pdev->dev) -> setup_pdev_dma_masks(pdev) -> platform_device_add(pdev)

This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails. Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before returning the error.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and confirmed by manual review.

It was discovered that the i.MX clock driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-3114)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
