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-2023-53574 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-2023-53574/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53574/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53574","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53574/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53574","record":{"aliases":["AZL-76770","BELL-CVE-2023-53574","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53574","GHSA-2mm9-p89h-xj5v","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-53574","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2023-53574","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2023-53574","SUSE-SU-2026:0107-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53574"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak and potential crash in the rtw88 Wi-Fi driver during unload can cause denial of service in the Linux kernel.","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":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: rtw88: delete timer and free skb queue when unloading\n\nFix possible crash and memory leak on driver unload by deleting\nTX purge timer and freeing C2H queue in 'rtw_core_deinit()',\nshrink critical section in the latter by freeing COEX queue\nout of TX report lock scope.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15 SP4","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15 SP5"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"wifi: rtw88: delete timer and free skb queue when unloading","id":"CVE-2023-53574","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix potential array out of bounds access","id":"CVE-2023-53575"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15 SP4","fixed":["5-150400.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15-SP4_Update_44","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15-SP4_Update_44\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015%20SP4","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:0107-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15 SP5","fixed":["2-150500.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kernel-livepatch-SLE15-SP5_Update_31","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kernel-livepatch-SLE15-SP5_Update_31\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Live%20Patching%2015%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:0107-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"clk: rs9: Fix suspend/resume","id":"CVE-2023-53573"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-10-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-03","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak and potential crash in the rtw88 Wi-Fi driver during unload can cause denial of service in the Linux kernel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53574/"}
