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-2023-52877 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-2023-52877/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52877/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52877","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52877/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52877","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52877","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52877","GHSA-7rxw-gv4w-f8w6","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52877"],"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 USB Type-C driver allows attackers to cause a system crash via crafted USB interactions.","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\nusb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm()\n\nIt is possible that typec_register_partner() returns ERR_PTR on failure.\nWhen port-\u003epartner is an error, a NULL pointer dereference may occur as\nshown below.\n\n[91222.095236][  T319] typec port0: failed to register partner (-17)\n...\n[91225.061491][  T319] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference\nat virtual address 000000000000039f\n[91225.274642][  T319] pc : tcpm_pd_data_request+0x310/0x13fc\n[91225.274646][  T319] lr : tcpm_pd_data_request+0x298/0x13fc\n[91225.308067][  T319] Call trace:\n[91225.308070][  T319]  tcpm_pd_data_request+0x310/0x13fc\n[91225.308073][  T319]  tcpm_pd_rx_handler+0x100/0x9e8\n[91225.355900][  T319]  kthread_worker_fn+0x178/0x58c\n[91225.355902][  T319]  kthread+0x150/0x200\n[91225.355905][  T319]  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30\n\nAdd a check for port-\u003epartner to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.","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":"usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm()","id":"CVE-2023-52877","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":5,"next":{"headline":"can: dev: can_put_echo_skb(): don't crash kernel if can_priv::echo_skb is accessed out of bounds","id":"CVE-2023-52878"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"clk: mediatek: clk-mt7629-eth: Add check for mtk_alloc_clk_data","id":"CVE-2023-52876"},"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 Linux kernel USB Type-C driver allows attackers to cause a system crash via crafted USB interactions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52877/"}
