What is CVE-2023-53471?

CVE-2023-53471 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 1 Oct 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu/gfx: disable gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq only when enabling legacy gfx ras

gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq is only enabled when legacy gfx ras is assert. So in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini, interrupt disablement for cp_ecc_error_irq should be executed under such condition, otherwise, an amdgpu_irq_put calltrace will occur.
