      <title>CVE-2026-97972 — net: macb: put the "mdio" child node reference on success</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-97972</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: macb: put the &amp;#34;mdio&amp;#34; child node reference on success&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;macb_mii_init() holds the reference returned by of_get_child_by_name()
for macb_mdiobus_register() and drops it only on the error paths, so
every successful probe leaks a node reference. On a CM5, overlay
removal after four bind cycles reports&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 5&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drop the reference after registration, where __mdiobus_register() has
already taken its own for the lifetime of the bus.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
