Overview

CVE-2023-53255 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:

firmware: stratix10-svc: Fix a potential resource leak in svc_create_memory_pool()

svc_create_memory_pool() is only called from stratix10_svc_drv_probe().

Most of resources in the probe are managed, but not this memremap() call.

There is also no memunmap() call in the file.

So switch to devm_memremap() to avoid a resource leak.

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.
