Last modified
CVE-2023-52841 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: vidtv: mux: Add check and kfree for kstrdup Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. Moreover, use kfree() in the later error handling in order to avoid memory leak.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
