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-2023-52903 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-2023-52903/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52903/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52903","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52903/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52903","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-52903","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52903","GHSA-2wjg-qcgr-7p52","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-52903"],"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 io_uring IOPOLL implementation can cause a kernel warning and potential denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nio_uring: lock overflowing for IOPOLL\n\nsyzbot reports an issue with overflow filling for IOPOLL:\n\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 28 at io_uring/io_uring.c:734 io_cqring_event_overflow+0x1c0/0x230 io_uring/io_uring.c:734\nCPU: 0 PID: 28 Comm: kworker/u4:1 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc3-syzkaller-16369-g358a161a6a9e #0\nWorkqueue: events_unbound io_ring_exit_work\nCall trace:\n io_cqring_event_overflow+0x1c0/0x230 io_uring/io_uring.c:734\n io_req_cqe_overflow+0x5c/0x70 io_uring/io_uring.c:773\n io_fill_cqe_req io_uring/io_uring.h:168 [inline]\n io_do_iopoll+0x474/0x62c io_uring/rw.c:1065\n io_iopoll_try_reap_events+0x6c/0x108 io_uring/io_uring.c:1513\n io_uring_try_cancel_requests+0x13c/0x258 io_uring/io_uring.c:3056\n io_ring_exit_work+0xec/0x390 io_uring/io_uring.c:2869\n process_one_work+0x2d8/0x504 kernel/workqueue.c:2289\n worker_thread+0x340/0x610 kernel/workqueue.c:2436\n kthread+0x12c/0x158 kernel/kthread.c:376\n ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:863\n\nThere is no real problem for normal IOPOLL as flush is also called with\nuring_lock taken, but it's getting more complicated for IOPOLL|SQPOLL,\nfor which __io_cqring_overflow_flush() happens from the CQ waiting path.","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":"io_uring: lock overflowing for IOPOLL","id":"CVE-2023-52903","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"ALSA: usb-audio: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in snd_usb_pcm_has_fixed_rate()","id":"CVE-2023-52904"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"nommu: fix memory leak in do_mmap() error path","id":"CVE-2023-52902"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-08-21","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":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's io_uring IOPOLL implementation can cause a kernel warning and potential denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52903/"}
