CVE-2023-53097

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

Description A memory leak issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the powerpc/iommu component. The problem occurs when using the debugfs lookup() function, which requires a subsequent call to dput() to prevent memory leaks. To simplify the process, the debugfs lookup and remove() function can be used instead, as it handles the necessary logic.

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