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-2023-52897 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-2023-52897/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52897/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52897","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52897/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52897","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52897","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52897","GHSA-758w-9j7r-h7p8","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52897"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel btrfs","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel warning and potential system instability in the Btrfs filesystem during qgroup rescans.","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":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/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\nbtrfs: qgroup: do not warn on record without old_roots populated\n\n[BUG]\nThere are some reports from the mailing list that since v6.1 kernel, the\nWARN_ON() inside btrfs_qgroup_account_extent() gets triggered during\nrescan:\n\n  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6424 at fs/btrfs/qgroup.c:2756 btrfs_qgroup_account_extents+0x1ae/0x260 [btrfs]\n  CPU: 3 PID: 6424 Comm: snapperd Tainted: P           OE      6.1.2-1-default #1 openSUSE Tumbleweed 05c7a1b1b61d5627475528f71f50444637b5aad7\n  RIP: 0010:btrfs_qgroup_account_extents+0x1ae/0x260 [btrfs]\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n  btrfs_commit_transaction+0x30c/0xb40 [btrfs c39c9c546c241c593f03bd6d5f39ea1b676250f6]\n   ?
