CVE-2026-46288
HIGH
8.4
CVSS 3.1
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: unittest: fix use-after-free in of_unittest_changeset()
The variable 'parent' is assigned the value of 'nchangeset' earlier in the
function, meaning both point to the same struct device_node. The call to
of_node_put(nchangeset) can decrement the reference count to zero and
free the node if there are no other holders. After that, the code still
uses 'parent' to check for the presence of a property and to read a
string property, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by moving the of_node_put() call after the last access to
'parent', avoiding the UAF.
