CVE-2023-53051

MediumCVSS 5.5/10Last modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

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

dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write()

The loop in dmcrypt_write may be running for unbounded amount of time, thus we need cond_resched() in it.

This commit fixes the following warning:
