Overview

CVE-2023-54297 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 30, 2025.

Technical description

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

btrfs: zoned: fix memory leak after finding block group with super blocks

At exclude_super_stripes(), if we happen to find a block group that has

super blocks mapped to it and we are on a zoned filesystem, we error out

as this is not supposed to happen, indicating either a bug or maybe some

memory corruption for example. However we are exiting the function without

freeing the memory allocated for the logical address of the super blocks.

Fix this by freeing the logical address.
