CVE-2022-49367
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix refcount leak in mv88e6xxx_mdios_register
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
mv88e6xxx_mdio_register() pass the device node to of_mdiobus_register(). We don't need the device node after it.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.27%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 17
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
