CVE-2023-53268

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

ASoC: fsl_mqs: move of_node_put() to the correct location

of_node_put() should have been done directly after mqs_priv->regmap = syscon_node_to_regmap(gpr_np); otherwise it creates a reference leak on the success path.

To fix this, of_node_put() is moved to the correct location, and change all the gotos to direct returns.

This LOW impact vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fsl_mqs ASoC driver involves a reference leak. As such, it has a low impact on availability, since it does not immediately lead to DoS or kpanics, but can lead to resource exhaustion in a long-term use scenario.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
