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-2023-53362 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-2023-53362/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53362/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53362","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53362/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53362","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53362","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53362","GHSA-jmcc-mpgx-5c8c","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2023-53362","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53362"],"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 fsl-mc bus driver causes a system crash when binding devices to VFIO.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbus: fsl-mc: don't assume child devices are all fsl-mc devices\n\nChanges in VFIO caused a pseudo-device to be created as child of\nfsl-mc devices causing a crash [1] when trying to bind a fsl-mc\ndevice to VFIO.
