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-2023-52860 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-2023-52860/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52860/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52860","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52860/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52860","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52860","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52860","GHSA-7xqf-4p6f-w78m","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52860"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the HiSilicon HNS3 PMU driver during device unregistration can cause a kernel crash, leading to denial of service.","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\ndrivers/perf: hisi: use cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() for hisi_hns3_pmu uninit process\n\nWhen tearing down a 'hisi_hns3' PMU, we mistakenly run the CPU hotplug\ncallbacks after the device has been unregistered, leading to fireworks\nwhen we try to execute empty function callbacks within the driver:\n\n  | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000\n  | CPU: 0 PID: 15 Comm: cpuhp/0 Tainted: G        W  O      5.12.0-rc4+ #1\n  | Hardware name:  , BIOS KpxxxFPGA 1P B600 V143 04/22/2021\n  | pstate: 80400009 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--)\n  | pc : perf_pmu_migrate_context+0x98/0x38c\n  | lr : perf_pmu_migrate_context+0x94/0x38c\n  |\n  | Call trace:\n  |  perf_pmu_migrate_context+0x98/0x38c\n  |  hisi_hns3_pmu_offline_cpu+0x104/0x12c [hisi_hns3_pmu]\n\nUse cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() instead of\ncpuhp_state_remove_instance() so that the notifiers don't execute after\nthe PMU device has been unregistered.\n\n[will: Rewrote commit message]","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":"drivers/perf: hisi: use cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() for hisi_hns3_pmu uninit process","id":"CVE-2023-52860","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":4,"next":{"headline":"drm: bridge: it66121: Fix invalid connector dereference","id":"CVE-2023-52861"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"perf: hisi: Fix use-after-free when register pmu fails","id":"CVE-2023-52859"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-05-21","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 null pointer dereference in the HiSilicon HNS3 PMU driver during device unregistration can cause a kernel crash, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52860/"}
