Memory Leak Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affects Tegra Products

CVE-2023-53505

What is CVE-2023-53505?

A memory leak vulnerability has been discovered in the Linux kernel, specifically impacting the Tegra124-EMC component. This issue arises due to the improper handling of memory in the error management processes, where certain memory references associated with 'tegra' are not freed, potentially leading to resource exhaustion. If not addressed, this could result in decreased system performance or stability issues for systems utilizing affected Tegra hardware components. It's crucial for users and developers to implement the necessary patches to mitigate this risk.
