Overview

CVE-2023-54228 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 30, 2025.

Technical description

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

regulator: raa215300: Fix resource leak in case of error

The clk_register_clkdev() allocates memory by calling vclkdev_alloc() and

this memory is not freed in the error path. Similarly, resources allocated

by clk_register_fixed_rate() are not freed in the error path.

Fix these issues by using devm_clk_hw_register_fixed_rate() and

devm_clk_hw_register_clkdev().

After this, the static variable clk is not needed. Replace it with 

local variable hw in probe() and drop calling clk_unregister_fixed_rate()

from raa215300_rtc_unregister_device().

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2023-54228?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2023-54228 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
