CVE-2023-53801 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/sprd: Release dma buffer to avoid memory leak When attaching to a domain, the driver would alloc a DMA buffer which is used to store address mapping table, and it need to be released when the IOMMU domain is freed.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IOMMU SPRD driver could lead to a memory leak. When the driver attaches to a domain, it allocates a DMA buffer for the address mapping table. This buffer must be released when the IOMMU domain is freed. The vulnerability arises because the buffer was not properly released, causing a memory leak.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
