It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-52560 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52560/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52560/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52560","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52560/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52560","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52560","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52560","GHSA-65mj-5f83-m897","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52560"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel DAMON virtual address test module can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when specific debug configurations are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/vaddr-test: fix memory leak in damon_do_test_apply_three_regions()\n\nWhen CONFIG_DAMON_VADDR_KUNIT_TEST=y and making CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y\nand CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_AUTO_SCAN=y, the below memory leak is detected.\n\nSince commit 9f86d624292c (\"mm/damon/vaddr-test: remove unnecessary\nvariables\"), the damon_destroy_ctx() is removed, but still call\ndamon_new_target() and damon_new_region(), the damon_region which is\nallocated by kmem_cache_alloc() in damon_new_region() and the damon_target\nwhich is allocated by kmalloc in damon_new_target() are not freed.
