Overview

CVE-2023-53725 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 22, 2025.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clocksource/drivers/cadence-ttc: Fix memory leak in ttc_timer_probe

Smatch reports:

drivers/clocksource/timer-cadence-ttc.c:529 ttc_timer_probe()

warn: 'timer_baseaddr' from of_iomap() not released on lines: 498,508,516.

timer_baseaddr may have the problem of not being released after use,

I replaced it with the devm_of_iomap() function and added the clk_put()

function to cleanup the "clk_ce" and "clk_cs".

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.
