CVE-2023-53334
Last modified
CVE-2023-53334 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: chipidea: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup() When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
