{"cve":"CVE-2023-53054","nvd":{"published":"2025-05-02T16:15:24.483","modified":"2026-06-17T06:44:12.470","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: dwc2: fix a devres leak in hw_enable upon suspend resume\n\nEach time the platform goes to low power, PM suspend / resume routines\ncall: __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable -> devm_add_action_or_reset().\nThis adds a new devres each time.\nThis may also happen at runtime, as dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable() can be\ncalled from udc_start().\n\nThis can be seen with tracing:\n- echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/dev/devres_log/enable\n- go to low power\n- cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\n\nA new \"ADD\" entry is found upon each low power cycle:\n... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 82a13bba devm_action_release (8 bytes)\n... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 49889daf devm_action_release (8 bytes)\n...\n\nA second issue is addressed here:\n- regulator_bulk_enable() is called upon each PM cycle (suspend/resume).\n- regulator_bulk_disable() never gets called.\n\nSo the reference count for these regulators constantly increase, by one\nupon each low power cycle, due to missing regulator_bulk_disable() call\nin __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().\n\nThe original fix that introduced the devm_add_action_or_reset() call,\nfixed an issue during probe, that happens due to other errors in\ndwc2_driver_probe() -> dwc2_core_reset(). Then the probe fails without\ndisabling regulators, when dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL.\n\nRather fix the error path: disable all the low level hardware in the\nerror path, by using the \"hsotg->ll_hw_enabled\" flag. Checking dr_mode\nhas been introduced to avoid a dual call to dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().\n\"ll_hw_enabled\" should achieve the same (and is used currently in the\nremove() routine).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f01027c51eb16145e8e07fafea3ca07ef102d06","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6485fc381b6528b6f547ee1ff10bdbcbe31a6e4c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cba76e1fb896b573f09f51aa299223276a77bc90","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f747313249b74f323ddf841a9c8db14d989f296a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ffb8ab6f87bd28d700ab5c20d9d3a7e75067630d"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:01:22.920403922+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-53054","score":0.00206,"percentile":0.10596,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
