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-2023-52813 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-2023-52813/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52813/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52813","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52813/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52813","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52813","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52813","GHSA-qwvj-ww5h-jh39","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52813"],"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's pcrypt module causes a hung task and kernel panic during crypto self-tests, leading to denial of service.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET\n\nWe found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:\n\nINFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.\n\"echo 0 \u003e /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs\" disables this message.\nCall trace:\n __switch_to+0x98/0xe0\n __schedule+0x6c4/0xf40\n schedule+0xd8/0x1b4\n schedule_timeout+0x474/0x560\n wait_for_common+0x368/0x4e0\n wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30\n wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30\n test_aead_vec_cfg+0xab4/0xd50\n test_aead+0x144/0x1f0\n alg_test_aead+0xd8/0x1e0\n alg_test+0x634/0x890\n cryptomgr_test+0x40/0x70\n kthread+0x1e0/0x220\n ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18\n Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks\n\nFor padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call\nwait_for_completion(\u0026wait-\u003ecompletion) in test_aead_vec_cfg.
