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-2023-53328 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-2023-53328/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53328/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53328","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53328/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53328","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53328","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53328","GHSA-q5jc-r55m-4xv5","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53328"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash via crafted filesystem operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: Enhance sanity check while generating attr_list\n\nni_create_attr_list uses WARN_ON to catch error cases while generating\nattribute list, which only prints out stack trace and may not be enough.\nThis repalces them with more proper error handling flow.\n\n[   59.666332] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000000e\n[   59.673268] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n[   59.678354] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n[   59.682831] PGD 8000000005ff1067 P4D 8000000005ff1067 PUD 7dee067 PMD 0\n[   59.688556] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI\n[   59.692642] CPU: 0 PID: 198 Comm: poc Tainted: G    B   W          6.2.0-rc1+ #4\n[   59.698868] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.16.0-0-gd239552ce722-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n[   59.708795] RIP: 0010:ni_create_attr_list+0x505/0x860\n[   59.713657] Code: 7e 10 e8 5e d0 d0 ff 45 0f b7 76 10 48 8d 7b 16 e8 00 d1 d0 ff 66 44 89 73 16 4d 8d 75 0e 4c 89 f7 e8 3f d0 d0 ff 4c 8d8\n[   59.731559] RSP: 0018:ffff88800a56f1e0 EFLAGS: 00010282\n[   59.735691] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff88800b7b5088 RCX: ffffffffb83079fe\n[   59.741792] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000008 RDI: ffffffffbb7f9fc0\n[   59.748423] RBP: ffff88800a56f3a8 R08: ffff88800b7b50a0 R09: fffffbfff76ff3f9\n[   59.754654] R10: ffffffffbb7f9fc7 R11: fffffbfff76ff3f8 R12: ffff88800b756180\n[   59.761552] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 000000000000000e R15: 0000000000000050\n[   59.768323] FS:  00007feaa8c96440(0000) GS:ffff88806d400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[   59.776027] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[   59.781395] CR2: 00007f3a2e0b1000 CR3: 000000000a5bc000 CR4: 00000000000006f0\n[   59.787607] Call Trace:\n[   59.790271]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[   59.792488]  ?
