Summary
CVE-2022-49150 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. A refcount leak was identified in the 'rtc: gamecube' subsystem's 'gamecube_rtc_read_offset_from_sram' function. The 'of_find_compatible_node()' function, which returns a node pointer with a refcount incremented, was not followed by the necessary 'of_node_put()' call to release the refcount. This oversight could potentially lead to memory leaks and other unintended consequences. The vulnerability has been addressed in the latest Linux kernel updates.
