CVE-2025-23160

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

Description A resource leak has been identified in the Linux kernel related to the system companion processor (SCP) on Mediatek devices. The issue arises during firmware initialization when the mtk scp structure is not explicitly removed, leading to a resource leak. The leak occurs if the allocation of the firmware structure fails.

Recommendations For the affected Linux kernel versions, ensure that the mtk scp structure is freed in case the allocation of the firmware structure fails during firmware initialization to prevent the resource leak. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
