Subject: CVE-2022-50480: memory: pl353-smc: Fix refcount leak bug in pl353_smc_probe()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memory: pl353-smc: Fix refcount leak bug in pl353_smc_probe()
The break of for_each_available_child_of_node() needs a
corresponding of_node_put() when the reference 'child' is not
used anymore. Here we do not need to call of_node_put() in
fail path as '!match' means no break.
While the of_platform_device_create() will created a new
reference by 'child' but it has considered the refcounting.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-50480 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
