CVE-2023-52472: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: rsa - add a check for allocation failure Static checkers insist that the mpi_alloc() allocation can fail so add a check to prevent a NULL dereference. Small allocations like this can't actually fail in current kernels, but adding a check is very simple and makes the static checkers happy.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.5.0, before 6.6.14 (fixed in 6.6.14); from 6.7.0, before 6.7.2 (fixed in 6.7.2)
