CVE-2023-52605 was assigned to a suspected NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel ACPI extended-error-log (extlog) module. In extlog_exit(), extlog_l1_addr was originally dereferenced to clear a flag before a NULL check. A proposed correction performed the flag operation and memory unmapping only when the pointer was non-NULL. The CVE was subsequently rejected by the Linux CVE process after maintainer review determined that the module exit path runs only after successful module initialization, which initializes extlog_l1_addr, and that module unloading is privileged. It is no longer a valid upstream CVE.
