CVE-2023-53115

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

scsi: mpi3mr: Fix memory leaks in mpi3mr_init_ioc()

Don't allocate memory again when IOC is being reinitialized.

A memory leak was fixed in mpi3mr_init_ioc() where buffers were reallocated without freeing previously allocated ones during IOC re-initialization. This could lead to kernel memory leaks if the controller is repeatedly reset or reinitialized. Triggering this flaw requires privileged access (e.g., root) and physical or emulated access to the SCSI hardware or virtualized adapter.
