      <title>CVE-2023-53611 — ipmi_si: fix a memleak in try_smi_init()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53611</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ipmi_si: fix a memleak in try_smi_init()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kmemleak reported the following leak info in try_smi_init():&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;unreferenced object 0xffff00018ecf9400 (size 1024):
  comm &amp;#34;modprobe&amp;#34;, pid 2707763, jiffies 4300851415 (age 773.308s)
  backtrace:

    [&amp;lt;0000000030a59039&amp;gt;] el0_sync+0x160/0x180&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration
and after allocating `new_smi-&amp;gt;si_sm`, the variable wouldn&amp;#39;t be freed in
the error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn&amp;#39;t been
registered yet. Fix it by adding a `kfree()` in the error handling path
in `try_smi_init()`.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
