## What is CVE-2023-53723?

CVE-2023-53723 is a vulnerability in Linux, published on 22 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: disable sdma ecc irq only when sdma RAS is enabled in suspend

sdma_v4_0_ip is shared on a few asics, but in sdma_v4_0_hw_fini,
driver unconditionally disables ecc_irq which is only enabled on
those asics enabling sdma ecc. This will introduce a warning in
suspend cycle on those chips with sdma ip v4.0, while without
sdma ecc. So this patch correct this.

Check this codebase for CVE-2023-53723 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2023-53723 is a vulnerability in Linux, published on 22 Oct 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-53723 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
