Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel related to a device_node leak in the mc_probe() function. The original code did not free the r5_core_node reference, leading to a memory leak.
Risk Assessment
Memory leaks can lead to increased resource consumption, which may affect the stability and performance of the system in the long run.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability and prevent memory leaks.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/versalnet: Fix device_node leak in mc_probe() of_parse_phandle() returns a device_node reference that must be released with of_node_put(). The original code never freed r5_core_node on any exit path, causing a memory leak. Fix this by using the automatic cleanup attribute __free(device_node) which ensures of_node_put() is called when the variable goes out of scope.
