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-2023-53048 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-2023-53048/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53048/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53048","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53048/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53048","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53048","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53048","GHSA-5v2q-9mrf-qmcj","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53048"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB Type-C","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel USB Type-C driver allows a remote attacker to trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service via crafted PD3 messages.","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\nusb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message\n\nSince both source and sink device can send discover_identity message in\nPD3, kernel may dump below warning:\n\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 169 at drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpm.c:1446 tcpm_queue_vdm+0xe0/0xf0\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 0 PID: 169 Comm: 1-0050 Not tainted 6.1.1-00038-g6a3c36cf1da2-dirty #567\nHardware name: NXP i.MX8MPlus EVK board (DT)\npstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\npc : tcpm_queue_vdm+0xe0/0xf0\nlr : tcpm_queue_vdm+0x2c/0xf0\nsp : ffff80000c19bcd0\nx29: ffff80000c19bcd0 x28: 0000000000000001 x27: ffff0000d11c8ab8\nx26: ffff0000d11cc000 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: 00000000ff008081\nx23: 0000000000000001 x22: 00000000ff00a081 x21: ffff80000c19bdbc\nx20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffff0000d11c8080 x18: ffffffffffffffff\nx17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: ffff0000d716f580\nx14: 0000000000000001 x13: ffff0000d716f507 x12: 0000000000000001\nx11: 0000000000000000 x10: 0000000000000020 x9 : 00000000000ee098\nx8 : 00000000ffffffff x7 : 000000000000001c x6 : ffff0000d716f580\nx5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : 0000000000000000\nx2 : ffff80000c19bdbc x1 : 00000000ff00a081 x0 : 0000000000000004\nCall trace:\ntcpm_queue_vdm+0xe0/0xf0\ntcpm_pd_rx_handler+0x340/0x1ab0\nkthread_worker_fn+0xcc/0x18c\nkthread+0x10c/0x110\nret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n\nBelow sequences may trigger this warning:\n\ntcpm_send_discover_work(work)\n  tcpm_send_vdm(port, USB_SID_PD, CMD_DISCOVER_IDENT, NULL, 0);\n   tcpm_queue_vdm(port, header, data, count);\n    port-\u003evdm_state = VDM_STATE_READY;\n\nvdm_state_machine_work(work);\n\t\t\t\u003c-- received discover_identity from partner\n vdm_run_state_machine(port);\n  port-\u003evdm_state = VDM_STATE_SEND_MESSAGE;\n   mod_vdm_delayed_work(port, x);\n\ntcpm_pd_rx_handler(work);\n tcpm_pd_data_request(port, msg);\n  tcpm_handle_vdm_request(port, msg-\u003epayload, cnt);\n   tcpm_queue_vdm(port, response[0], \u0026response[1], rlen - 1);\n--\u003e WARN_ON(port-\u003evdm_state \u003e VDM_STATE_DONE);\n\nFor this case, the state machine could still send out discover\nidentity message later if we skip current discover_identity message.\nSo we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending\ndiscover_identity message without warning in this case.
