The current implementation does not decrement the refcount, which causes memory leak.</p> <p>This commit adds the missing phy_device_free() call to decrement the refcount via put_device() to balance the refcount.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix a possible memory leak in bcm_sf2_mdio_register()</p> <p>bcm_sf2_mdio_register() calls of_phy_find_device() and then phy_device_remove() in a loop to remove existing PHY devices. of_phy_find_device() eventually calls bus_find_device(), which calls get_device() on the returned struct device * to increment the refcount.
