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-2023-52570 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-2023-52570/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52570/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52570","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52570/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52570","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52570","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52570","GHSA-gfh2-325r-ffgp","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52570"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's vfio/mdev subsystem can cause a system crash when unregistering a parent device.","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":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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvfio/mdev: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug for mdev_unregister_parent()\n\nInject fault while probing mdpy.ko, if kstrdup() of create_dir() fails in\nkobject_add_internal() in kobject_init_and_add() in mdev_type_add()\nin parent_create_sysfs_files(), it will return 0 and probe successfully.\nAnd when rmmod mdpy.ko, the mdpy_dev_exit() will call\nmdev_unregister_parent(), the mdev_type_remove() may traverse uninitialized\nparent-\u003etypes[i] in parent_remove_sysfs_files(), and it will cause\nbelow null-ptr-deref.\n\nIf mdev_type_add() fails, return the error code and kset_unregister()\nto fix the issue.\n\n general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000002: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN\n KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]\n CPU: 2 PID: 10215 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G        W        N 6.6.0-rc2+ #20\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014\n RIP: 0010:__kobject_del+0x62/0x1c0\n Code: 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 51 01 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 8b 6b 28 48 8d 7d 10 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 \u003c80\u003e 3c 02 00 0f 85 24 01 00 00 48 8b 75 10 48 89 df 48 8d 6b 3c e8\n RSP: 0018:ffff88810695fd30 EFLAGS: 00010202\n RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffffffa0270268 RCX: 0000000000000000\n RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 0000000000000004 RDI: 0000000000000010\n RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed10233a4ef1\n R10: ffff888119d2778b R11: 0000000063666572 R12: 0000000000000000\n R13: fffffbfff404e2d4 R14: dffffc0000000000 R15: ffffffffa0271660\n FS:  00007fbc81981540(0000) GS:ffff888119d00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: 00007fc14a142dc0 CR3: 0000000110a62003 CR4: 0000000000770ee0\n DR0: ffffffff8fb0bce8 DR1: ffffffff8fb0bce9 DR2: ffffffff8fb0bcea\n DR3: ffffffff8fb0bceb DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600\n PKRU: 55555554\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  ?
