Overview

CVE-2023-53177 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 15, 2025 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:

media: hi846: fix usage of pm_runtime_get_if_in_use()

pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() does not only return nonzero values when

the device is in use, it can return a negative errno too.

And especially during resuming from system suspend, when runtime pm

is not yet up again, -EAGAIN is being returned, so the subsequent

pm_runtime_put() call results in a refcount underflow.

Fix system-resume by handling -EAGAIN of pm_runtime_get_if_in_use().

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.
