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-2023-52622 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2023-52622/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52622/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52622","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52622/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52622","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52622","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52622","GHSA-25m9-3j97-v6cg","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52622"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ext4","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service by resizing an ext4 filesystem with an oversized flex block group size.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\next4: avoid online resizing failures due to oversized flex bg\n\nWhen we online resize an ext4 filesystem with a oversized flexbg_size,\n\n     mkfs.ext4 -F -G 67108864 $dev -b 4096 100M\n     mount $dev $dir\n     resize2fs $dev 16G\n\nthe following WARN_ON is triggered:\n==================================================================\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 427 at mm/page_alloc.c:4402 __alloc_pages+0x411/0x550\nModules linked in: sg(E)\nCPU: 0 PID: 427 Comm: resize2fs Tainted: G  E  6.6.0-rc5+ #314\nRIP: 0010:__alloc_pages+0x411/0x550\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n __kmalloc_large_node+0xa2/0x200\n __kmalloc+0x16e/0x290\n ext4_resize_fs+0x481/0xd80\n __ext4_ioctl+0x1616/0x1d90\n ext4_ioctl+0x12/0x20\n __x64_sys_ioctl+0xf0/0x150\n do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90\n==================================================================\n\nThis is because flexbg_size is too large and the size of the new_group_data\narray to be allocated exceeds MAX_ORDER.
