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-2023-53317 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-2023-53317/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53317/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53317","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53317/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53317","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53317","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53317","GHSA-769w-mwjw-953c","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53317"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ext4","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem can trigger a kernel warning and potential crash during quota operations, leading to denial of service.","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":"cisa-adp","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\next4: fix WARNING in mb_find_extent\n\nSyzbot found the following issue:\n\nEXT4-fs: Warning: mounting with data=journal disables delayed allocation, dioread_nolock, O_DIRECT and fast_commit support!\nEXT4-fs (loop0): orphan cleanup on readonly fs\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nWARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5067 at fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1869 mb_find_extent+0x8a1/0xe30\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 1 PID: 5067 Comm: syz-executor307 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc1-syzkaller #0\nHardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 10/26/2022\nRIP: 0010:mb_find_extent+0x8a1/0xe30 fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1869\nRSP: 0018:ffffc90003c9e098 EFLAGS: 00010293\nRAX: ffffffff82405731 RBX: 0000000000000041 RCX: ffff8880783457c0\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000041 RDI: 0000000000000040\nRBP: 0000000000000040 R08: ffffffff82405723 R09: ffffed10053c9402\nR10: ffffed10053c9402 R11: 1ffff110053c9401 R12: 0000000000000000\nR13: ffffc90003c9e538 R14: dffffc0000000000 R15: ffffc90003c9e2cc\nFS:  0000555556665300(0000) GS:ffff8880b9900000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 000056312f6796f8 CR3: 0000000022437000 CR4: 00000000003506e0\nDR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\nDR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n ext4_mb_complex_scan_group+0x353/0x1100 fs/ext4/mballoc.c:2307\n ext4_mb_regular_allocator+0x1533/0x3860 fs/ext4/mballoc.c:2735\n ext4_mb_new_blocks+0xddf/0x3db0 fs/ext4/mballoc.c:5605\n ext4_ext_map_blocks+0x1868/0x6880 fs/ext4/extents.c:4286\n ext4_map_blocks+0xa49/0x1cc0 fs/ext4/inode.c:651\n ext4_getblk+0x1b9/0x770 fs/ext4/inode.c:864\n ext4_bread+0x2a/0x170 fs/ext4/inode.c:920\n ext4_quota_write+0x225/0x570 fs/ext4/super.c:7105\n write_blk fs/quota/quota_tree.c:64 [inline]\n get_free_dqblk+0x34a/0x6d0 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:130\n do_insert_tree+0x26b/0x1aa0 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:340\n do_insert_tree+0x722/0x1aa0 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:375\n do_insert_tree+0x722/0x1aa0 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:375\n do_insert_tree+0x722/0x1aa0 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:375\n dq_insert_tree fs/quota/quota_tree.c:401 [inline]\n qtree_write_dquot+0x3b6/0x530 fs/quota/quota_tree.c:420\n v2_write_dquot+0x11b/0x190 fs/quota/quota_v2.c:358\n dquot_acquire+0x348/0x670 fs/quota/dquot.c:444\n ext4_acquire_dquot+0x2dc/0x400 fs/ext4/super.c:6740\n dqget+0x999/0xdc0 fs/quota/dquot.c:914\n __dquot_initialize+0x3d0/0xcf0 fs/quota/dquot.c:1492\n ext4_process_orphan+0x57/0x2d0 fs/ext4/orphan.c:329\n ext4_orphan_cleanup+0xb60/0x1340 fs/ext4/orphan.c:474\n __ext4_fill_super fs/ext4/super.c:5516 [inline]\n ext4_fill_super+0x81cd/0x8700 fs/ext4/super.c:5644\n get_tree_bdev+0x400/0x620 fs/super.c:1282\n vfs_get_tree+0x88/0x270 fs/super.c:1489\n do_new_mount+0x289/0xad0 fs/namespace.c:3145\n do_mount fs/namespace.c:3488 [inline]\n __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3697 [inline]\n __se_sys_mount+0x2d3/0x3c0 fs/namespace.c:3674\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n\nAdd some debug information:\nmb_find_extent: mb_find_extent block=41, order=0 needed=64 next=0 ex=0/41/1@3735929054 64 64 7\nblock_bitmap: ff 3f 0c 00 fc 01 00 00 d2 3d 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff\n\nAcctually, blocks per group is 64, but block bitmap indicate at least has\n128 blocks.
