An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-53716 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2023-53716/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53716/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53716","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53716/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53716","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53716","GHSA-rxxr-3f5p-3hc6","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53716"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel network stack allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering specific transmission timestamp conditions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: fix skb leak in __skb_tstamp_tx()\n\nCommit 50749f2dd685 (\"tcp/udp: Fix memleaks of sk and zerocopy skbs with\nTX timestamp.\") added a call to skb_orphan_frags_rx() to fix leaks with\nzerocopy skbs.
