CVE-2023-53403

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory leak exists in the Linux kernel related to the use of the debugfs lookup() function within the time/debug subsystem. Failing to call dput() on the result of debugfs lookup() leads to a memory leak over time. The issue is resolved by using debugfs lookup and remove(), which handles the necessary memory management logic.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
