CVE-2022-49239 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: wcd934x: Add missing of_node_put() in wcd934x_codec_parse_data The device_node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() on it when done. This is similar to commit 64b92de9603f ("ASoC: wcd9335: fix a leaked reference by adding missing of_node_put"). EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
