Overview

CVE-2023-53325 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 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/mediatek: dp: Change logging to dev for mtk_dp_aux_transfer()

Change logging from drm_{err,info}() to dev_{err,info}() in functions

mtk_dp_aux_transfer() and mtk_dp_aux_do_transfer(): this will be

essential to avoid getting NULL pointer kernel panics if any kind

of error happens during AUX transfers happening before the bridge

is attached.

This may potentially start happening in a later commit implementing

aux-bus support, as AUX transfers will be triggered from the panel

driver (for EDID) before the mtk-dp bridge gets attached, and it's

done in preparation for the same.

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.
