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-2023-53611 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-2023-53611/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53611/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53611","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53611/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53611","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53611","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53611","GHSA-7r62-fw3j-xjqf","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53611"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel IPMI driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel IPMI driver allows attackers to cause resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nipmi_si: fix a memleak in try_smi_init()\n\nKmemleak reported the following leak info in try_smi_init():\n\nunreferenced object 0xffff00018ecf9400 (size 1024):\n  comm \"modprobe\", pid 2707763, jiffies 4300851415 (age 773.308s)\n  backtrace:\n    [\u003c000000004ca5b312\u003e] __kmalloc+0x4b8/0x7b0\n    [\u003c00000000953b1072\u003e] try_smi_init+0x148/0x5dc [ipmi_si]\n    [\u003c000000006460d325\u003e] 0xffff800081b10148\n    [\u003c0000000039206ea5\u003e] do_one_initcall+0x64/0x2a4\n    [\u003c00000000601399ce\u003e] do_init_module+0x50/0x300\n    [\u003c000000003c12ba3c\u003e] load_module+0x7a8/0x9e0\n    [\u003c00000000c246fffe\u003e] __se_sys_init_module+0x104/0x180\n    [\u003c00000000eea99093\u003e] __arm64_sys_init_module+0x24/0x30\n    [\u003c0000000021b1ef87\u003e] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x94/0x250\n    [\u003c0000000070f4f8b7\u003e] do_el0_svc+0x48/0xe0\n    [\u003c000000005a05337f\u003e] el0_svc+0x24/0x3c\n    [\u003c000000005eb248d6\u003e] el0_sync_handler+0x160/0x164\n    [\u003c0000000030a59039\u003e] el0_sync+0x160/0x180\n\nThe problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration\nand after allocating `new_smi-\u003esi_sm`, the variable wouldn't be freed in\nthe error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn't been\nregistered yet.
