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-2023-53054 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-2023-53054/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53054/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53054","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53054/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53054","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53054","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53054","GHSA-cqrq-5cq5-j744","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53054"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A resource leak in the Linux kernel dwc2 USB driver during suspend/resume cycles can exhaust memory, leading to denial of service.","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\nusb: dwc2: fix a devres leak in hw_enable upon suspend resume\n\nEach time the platform goes to low power, PM suspend / resume routines\ncall: __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable -\u003e devm_add_action_or_reset().\nThis adds a new devres each time.\nThis may also happen at runtime, as dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable() can be\ncalled from udc_start().\n\nThis can be seen with tracing:\n- echo 1 \u003e /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/dev/devres_log/enable\n- go to low power\n- cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\n\nA new \"ADD\" entry is found upon each low power cycle:\n... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 82a13bba devm_action_release (8 bytes)\n... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 49889daf devm_action_release (8 bytes)\n...\n\nA second issue is addressed here:\n- regulator_bulk_enable() is called upon each PM cycle (suspend/resume).\n- regulator_bulk_disable() never gets called.\n\nSo the reference count for these regulators constantly increase, by one\nupon each low power cycle, due to missing regulator_bulk_disable() call\nin __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().\n\nThe original fix that introduced the devm_add_action_or_reset() call,\nfixed an issue during probe, that happens due to other errors in\ndwc2_driver_probe() -\u003e dwc2_core_reset().
