What is CVE-2023-53341?

The Linux kernel has resolved a vulnerability where the early_init_dt_scan_memory function incorrectly returned 0, preventing proper memory setup during boot. This flaw could lead to kernel panic on systems that rely on specific memory detection methods, causing failures to allocate necessary memory resources. The update ensures that scenarios with detected memory will successfully allow subsequent memory initialization processes to run, enhancing system stability during early boot phases.
