CVE-2023-53355
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 4.14-6.1.17 - Use-After-Free in pi433 DebugFS Handling
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: pi433: 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. This requires saving off the root directory dentry to make creation of individual device subdirectories easier.
