CVE-2026-23030Hinoki check available

Double free via duplicate device-node reference release

Published Jan 31, 2026 · Updated Jan 31, 2026

Double free in the Rockchip Innosilicon USB2 PHY driver in Linux Kernel allows attackers to cause unspecified impact during probe. The rockchip_usb2phy_probe() error path releases child_np in the loop, then calls of_node_put() on it again after IRQ allocation fails. Triggering requires the Rockchip driver probe to encounter a devm_request_threaded_irq() failure; no attacker-controlled path or resulting system effect is published.
