Overview

CVE-2023-53228 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:

drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted

Once command submission failed due to userptr invalidation in

amdgpu_cs_submit, legacy code will perform cleanup of scheduler

job. However, it's not needed at all, as former commit has integrated

job cleanup stuff into amdgpu_job_free. Otherwise, because of double

free, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in such scenario.

Bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2457

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.
