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-2023-53486 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-2023-53486/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53486/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53486","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53486/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53486","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53486","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53486","GHSA-638r-2hm7-3wj9","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-53486","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53486"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NTFS3","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A slab-out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver allows attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code via a crafted filesystem image.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nfs/ntfs3: Enhance the attribute size check\n\nThis combines the overflow and boundary check so that all attribute size\nwill be properly examined while enumerating them.\n\n[  169.181521] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in run_unpack+0x2e3/0x570\n[  169.183161] Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880094b6240 by task mount/247\n[  169.184046]\n[  169.184925] CPU: 0 PID: 247 Comm: mount Not tainted 6.0.0-rc7+ #3\n[  169.185908] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.14.0-0-g155821a1990b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n[  169.187066] Call Trace:\n[  169.187492]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[  169.188049]  dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x63\n[  169.188495]  print_report.cold+0xf5/0x689\n[  169.188964]  ?
