What is CVE-2023-53367?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been identified that affects Habanalabs user mappings, resulting in a memory leak. This issue occurs when the user_mappings information is not properly cleared during the context setup after a hard reset. As a result, memory resources may be unintentionally consumed, potentially impacting system performance and stability. A recent commit has addressed this flaw, ensuring that memory is managed correctly to prevent leaks when new contexts are opened.
