It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-52484 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52484/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52484/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52484","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52484/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52484","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52484","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52484","GHSA-6vr7-4hpq-76r6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-52484","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52484"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A soft lockup in the Linux kernel's ARM SMMU driver can cause a denial of service during memory unmapping operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix soft lockup triggered by arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range\n\nWhen running an SVA case, the following soft lockup is triggered:\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\nwatchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#244 stuck for 26s!\npstate: 83400009 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO +TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\npc : arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist+0x178/0xa50\nlr : arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist+0x150/0xa50\nsp : ffff8000d83ef290\nx29: ffff8000d83ef290 x28: 000000003b9aca00 x27: 0000000000000000\nx26: ffff8000d83ef3c0 x25: da86c0812194a0e8 x24: 0000000000000000\nx23: 0000000000000040 x22: ffff8000d83ef340 x21: ffff0000c63980c0\nx20: 0000000000000001 x19: ffff0000c6398080 x18: 0000000000000000\nx17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: ffff3000b4a3bbb0\nx14: ffff3000b4a30888 x13: ffff3000b4a3cf60 x12: 0000000000000000\nx11: 0000000000000000 x10: 0000000000000000 x9 : ffffc08120e4d6bc\nx8 : 0000000000000000 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000048cfa\nx5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000001 x3 : 000000000000000a\nx2 : 0000000080000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000001\nCall trace:\n arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist+0x178/0xa50\n __arm_smmu_tlb_inv_range+0x118/0x254\n arm_smmu_tlb_inv_range_asid+0x6c/0x130\n arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range+0xa0/0xa4\n __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end+0x88/0x120\n unmap_vmas+0x194/0x1e0\n unmap_region+0xb4/0x144\n do_mas_align_munmap+0x290/0x490\n do_mas_munmap+0xbc/0x124\n __vm_munmap+0xa8/0x19c\n __arm64_sys_munmap+0x28/0x50\n invoke_syscall+0x78/0x11c\n el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x58/0x1c0\n do_el0_svc+0x34/0x60\n el0_svc+0x2c/0xd4\n el0t_64_sync_handler+0x114/0x140\n el0t_64_sync+0x1a4/0x1a8\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNote that since 6.6-rc1 the arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range above is renamed\nto \"arm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs\", yet the problem remains.\n\nThe commit 06ff87bae8d3 (\"arm64: mm: remove unused functions and variable\nprotoypes\") fixed a similar lockup on the CPU MMU side. Yet, it can occur\nto SMMU too, since arm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() is called\ntypically next to MMU tlb flush function, e.g.\n\ttlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly {\n\t\ttlb_flush {\n\t\t\t__flush_tlb_range {\n\t\t\t\t// check MAX_TLBI_OPS\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\tmmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs {\n\t\t\tarm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs {\n\t\t\t\t// does not check MAX_TLBI_OPS\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\nClone a CMDQ_MAX_TLBI_OPS from the MAX_TLBI_OPS in tlbflush.h, since in an\nSVA case SMMU uses the CPU page table, so it makes sense to align with the\ntlbflush code. Then, replace per-page TLBI commands with a single per-asid\nTLBI command, if the request size hits this threshold.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix soft lockup triggered by arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range","id":"CVE-2023-52484","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"drm/amd/display: Wake DMCUB before sending a command","id":"CVE-2023-52485"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mctp: perform route lookups under a RCU read-side lock","id":"CVE-2023-52483"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-02-29","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A soft lockup in the Linux kernel's ARM SMMU driver can cause a denial of service during memory unmapping operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52484/"}
