Overview

CVE-2023-53364 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 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:

regulator: da9063: better fix null deref with partial DT

Two versions of the original patch were sent but V1 was merged instead

of V2 due to a mistake.

So update to V2.

The advantage of V2 is that it completely avoids dereferencing the pointer,

even just to take the address, which may fix problems with some compilers.

Both versions work on my gcc 9.4 but use the safer one.

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.
