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-2023-53849 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2023-53849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53849/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53849","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53849","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53849","GHSA-qjg8-j726-37mh","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-53849","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2023-53849","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53849"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A resource leak in the Linux kernel's DRM MSM driver can lead to memory exhaustion and denial of service during device binding errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/msm: fix workqueue leak on bind errors\n\nMake sure to destroy the workqueue also in case of early errors during\nbind (e.g. a subcomponent failing to bind).\n\nSince commit c3b790ea07a1 (\"drm: Manage drm_mode_config_init with\ndrmm_\") the mode config will be freed when the drm device is released\nalso when using the legacy interface, but add an explicit cleanup for\nconsistency and to facilitate backporting.\n\nPatchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/525093/","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"drm/msm: fix workqueue leak on bind errors","id":"CVE-2023-53849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"iavf: use internal state to free traffic IRQs","id":"CVE-2023-53850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"md/raid5-cache: fix a deadlock in r5l_exit_log()","id":"CVE-2023-53848"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-23","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A resource leak in the Linux kernel's DRM MSM driver can lead to memory exhaustion and denial of service during device binding errors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53849/"}
