[PATCH v5 02/10] media: microchip-isc: take a reference on the parsed endpoints
From: Balakrishnan Sambath
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 02:57:36 EST
for_each_endpoint_of_node() drops the reference on the current node as
it advances. xisc_parse_dt() and isc_parse_dt() store the node in
subdev_entity->epn and release it later with of_node_put(), but never
took their own reference, so the stored pointer refers to an
already-released node. This underflows the refcount and can
use-after-free, reachable through the camera device tree overlay.
Take a reference with of_node_get() when storing the node, and drop it
in microchip_isc_subdev_cleanup() so the entities the bind loop never
reaches on an early exit do not leak it.
Fixes: c9aa973884a1 ("media: atmel: atmel-isc: add microchip-xisc driver")
Fixes: d6701f13bd07 ("media: atmel: Use v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_remote_subdev")
