In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: platform: mtk-mdp3: Fix SCP device refcounting
mdp_probe() first tries to get the SCP handle with scp_get(). When that
fails, it falls back to looking up the SCP platform device with
__get_pdev_by_id() and then reads its driver data.
The fallback lookup returns the platform device with a reference, just
like scp_get() does. However, the fallback path currently drops that
reference immediately after platform_get_drvdata(). The driver later
still calls scp_put(mdp->scp) unconditionally from the probe error path
and from mdp_video_device_release(), which drops the SCP device
reference again.
Keep the fallback reference until the existing scp_put() call, so that
the fallback path follows the same ownership rules as the scp_get()
path.
