In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: OMAP2+: omap4-common: Fix refcount leak bug
In omap4_sram_init(), of_find_compatible_node() will return a node
pointer with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when
it is not used anymore.

kernel: ARM: OMAP2+: omap4-common: Fix refcount leak bug
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: OMAP2+: omap4-common: Fix refcount leak bug
In omap4_sram_init(), of_find_compatible_node() will return a node
pointer with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when
it is not used anymore.
A reference leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OMAP4 platform code in the SRAM initialization logic. A local user on ARM OMAP4 systems can trigger this issue during system initialization when of_find_compatible_node returns a device tree node pointer with an incremented reference count that is never released. This results in a permanent reference leak preventing proper device tree node cleanup and leading to resource exhaustion or denial of service.
