CVE-2023-53173

In CVE-2023-53173, the Linux kernel tty pcn_uart driver had a memory leak when using debugfs_lookup() because the returned object wasn’t always released with dput(). The recommended fix is to call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to perform the lookup and cleanup in one step, mitigating the leak.

CVE-2023-53173

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: pcnuart: fix memory leak with using debugfslookup When calling debugfslookup the result must have dput called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfslookupandremove instead...
