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-2023-53607 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-2023-53607/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53607/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53607","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53607/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53607","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53607","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53607","GHSA-mj42-qmqq-f53f","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53607"],"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 bug in the ALSA ymfpci driver causes a kernel crash during device probe, leading to a 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":"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-617","name":"Reachable Assertion"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: ymfpci: Fix BUG_ON in probe function\n\nThe snd_dma_buffer.bytes field now contains the aligned size, which this\nsnd_BUG_ON() did not account for, resulting in the following:\n\n[    9.625915] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n[    9.633440] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 126 at sound/pci/ymfpci/ymfpci_main.c:2168 snd_ymfpci_create+0x681/0x698 [snd_ymfpci]\n[    9.648926] Modules linked in: snd_ymfpci(+) snd_intel_dspcfg kvm(+) snd_intel_sdw_acpi snd_ac97_codec snd_mpu401_uart snd_opl3_lib irqbypass snd_hda_codec gameport snd_rawmidi crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul cfg80211 snd_hda_core polyval_clmulni polyval_generic gf128mul snd_seq_device ghash_clmulni_intel snd_hwdep ac97_bus sha512_ssse3 rfkill snd_pcm aesni_intel tg3 snd_timer crypto_simd snd mxm_wmi libphy cryptd k10temp fam15h_power pcspkr soundcore sp5100_tco wmi acpi_cpufreq mac_hid dm_multipath sg loop fuse dm_mod bpf_preload ip_tables x_tables ext4 crc32c_generic crc16 mbcache jbd2 sr_mod cdrom ata_generic pata_acpi firewire_ohci crc32c_intel firewire_core xhci_pci crc_itu_t pata_via xhci_pci_renesas floppy\n[    9.711849] CPU: 0 PID: 126 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 6.1.21-1-lts #1 08d2e5ece03136efa7c6aeea9a9c40916b1bd8da\n[    9.722200] Hardware name: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
