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-2023-52568 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-2023-52568/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52568/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52568","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52568/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52568","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52568","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52568","GHSA-mxqg-3qg8-9qfj","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52568"],"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 race condition in the Linux kernel SGX subsystem causes a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nx86/sgx: Resolves SECS reclaim vs. page fault for EAUG race\n\nThe SGX EPC reclaimer (ksgxd) may reclaim the SECS EPC page for an\nenclave and set secs.epc_page to NULL. The SECS page is used for EAUG\nand ELDU in the SGX page fault handler. However, the NULL check for\nsecs.epc_page is only done for ELDU, not EAUG before being used.\n\nFix this by doing the same NULL check and reloading of the SECS page as\nneeded for both EAUG and ELDU.\n\nThe SECS page holds global enclave metadata. It can only be reclaimed\nwhen there are no other enclave pages remaining. At that point,\nvirtually nothing can be done with the enclave until the SECS page is\npaged back in.\n\nAn enclave can not run nor generate page faults without a resident SECS\npage. But it is still possible for a #PF for a non-SECS page to race\nwith paging out the SECS page: when the last resident non-SECS page A\ntriggers a #PF in a non-resident page B, and then page A and the SECS\nboth are paged out before the #PF on B is handled.\n\nHitting this bug requires that race triggered with a #PF for EAUG.\nFollowing is a trace when it happens.\n\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\nRIP: 0010:sgx_encl_eaug_page+0xc7/0x210\nCall Trace:\n ? __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x16a/0x440\n ? xa_load+0x6e/0xa0\n sgx_vma_fault+0x119/0x230\n __do_fault+0x36/0x140\n do_fault+0x12f/0x400\n __handle_mm_fault+0x728/0x1110\n handle_mm_fault+0x105/0x310\n do_user_addr_fault+0x1ee/0x750\n ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20\n exc_page_fault+0x76/0x180\n asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30","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":"x86/sgx: Resolves SECS reclaim vs. page fault for EAUG race","id":"CVE-2023-52568","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"btrfs: remove BUG() after failure to insert delayed dir index item","id":"CVE-2023-52569"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"serial: 8250_port: Check IRQ data before use","id":"CVE-2023-52567"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-03-02","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 race condition in the Linux kernel SGX subsystem causes a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52568/"}
