CVE-2026-43264

📄 Description (English)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: of: display_timing: fix refcount leak in of_get_display_timings()

of_parse_phandle() returns a device_node with refcount incremented,
which is stored in 'entry' and then copied to 'native_mode'. When the
error paths at lines 184 or 192 jump to 'entryfail', native_mode's
refcount is not decremented, causing a refcount leak.

Fix this by changing the goto target from 'entryfail' to 'timingfail',
which properly calls of_node_put(native_mode) before cleanup.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

A refcount leak vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's fbdev display timing module where of_parse_phandle() increments a device node reference count that is not properly decremented on error paths. This can lead to memory exhaustion and denial of service in systems using framebuffer display timing functionality.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تحتوي وحدة توقيت العرض fbdev في نواة Linux على ثغرة تسرب عداد المراجع حيث لا يتم تقليل عداد المراجع المزيد من قبل of_parse_phandle() على مسارات الخطأ. يمكن أن يؤدي هذا إلى استنزاف الذاكرة وحالات الحرمان من الخدمة في الأنظمة التي تستخدم وظيفة توقيت العرض.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Update the Linux kernel to the latest patched version that fixes the refcount leak in of_get_display_timings() by properly calling of_node_put(native_mode) before cleanup. Apply the patch that changes the error path goto target from 'entryfail' to 'timingfail'.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بتحديث نواة Linux إلى أحدث إصدار مصحح يصلح تسرب عداد المراجع في of_get_display_timings() من خلال استدعاء of_node_put(native_mode) بشكل صحيح قبل التنظيف. طبق التصحيح الذي يغير هدف مسار الخطأ من 'entryfail' إلى 'timingfail'.
