CVE-2026-98855
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of/overlay: put property on deadprops only after changeset add succeeds add_changeset_prop
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/overlay: put property on deadprops only after changeset add succeeds
add_changeset_property() links a new property of a not-yet-live
target node into the node's deadprops list before handing it to
of_changeset_add_property(). If that fails, the error path frees the
property but leaves the freed pointer linked in deadprops, and
of_node_release() frees it a second time when the aborted overlay's
node is released.
Record the changeset entry first and link the property into deadprops
only on success. of_changeset_add_property() never looks at the
node's property lists, so the order of the two steps is otherwise
immaterial, and the error path frees a property that nothing
references.
