      <title>CVE-2023-53563 — cpufreq: amd-pstate-ut: Fix kernel panic when loading the driver</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2023-53563</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;cpufreq: amd-pstate-ut: Fix kernel panic when loading the driver&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After loading the amd-pstate-ut driver, amd_pstate_ut_check_perf()
and amd_pstate_ut_check_freq() use cpufreq_cpu_get() to get the policy
of the CPU and mark it as busy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In these functions, cpufreq_cpu_put() should be used to release the
policy, but it is not, so any other entity trying to access the policy
is blocked indefinitely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One such scenario is when amd_pstate mode is changed, leading to the
following splat:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[ 1332.103727] INFO: task bash:2929 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
