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-2023-53222 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-2023-53222/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53222/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53222","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53222/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53222","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53222","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53222","GHSA-3277-7c79-2vxw","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53222"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel JFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a kernel crash by mounting a crafted JFS filesystem with an invalid block size value, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"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-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\njfs: jfs_dmap: Validate db_l2nbperpage while mounting\n\nIn jfs_dmap.c at line 381, BLKTODMAP is used to get a logical block\nnumber inside dbFree(). db_l2nbperpage, which is the log2 number of\nblocks per page, is passed as an argument to BLKTODMAP which uses it\nfor shifting.\n\nSyzbot reported a shift out-of-bounds crash because db_l2nbperpage is\ntoo big.
