Overview

CVE-2023-52663 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 17, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

ASoC: SOF: amd: Fix memory leak in amd_sof_acp_probe()

Driver uses kasprintf() to initialize fw_{code,data}_bin members of

struct acp_dev_data, but kfree() is never called to deallocate the

memory, which results in a memory leak.

Fix the issue by switching to devm_kasprintf(). Additionally, ensure the

allocation was successful by checking the pointer validity.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
