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-2023-53732 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-2023-53732/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53732/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53732","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53732/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53732","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53732","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53732","GHSA-3rxh-rgj9-q9fq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-53732","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53732"],"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash via a NULL pointer dereference in the NTFS3 filesystem driver during inode creation errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nfs/ntfs3: Fix NULL dereference in ni_write_inode\n\nSyzbot reports a NULL dereference in ni_write_inode.\nWhen creating a new inode, if allocation fails in mi_init function\n(called in mi_format_new function), mi-\u003emrec is set to NULL.\nIn the error path of this inode creation, mi-\u003emrec is later\ndereferenced in ni_write_inode.\n\nAdd a NULL check to prevent NULL dereference.","ecosystems":[],"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":"fs/ntfs3: Fix NULL dereference in ni_write_inode","id":"CVE-2023-53732","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"net: sched: cls_u32: Undo tcf_bind_filter if u32_replace_hw_knode","id":"CVE-2023-53733"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"netlink: fix potential deadlock in netlink_set_err()","id":"CVE-2023-53731"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-10-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can cause a kernel crash via a NULL pointer dereference in the NTFS3 filesystem driver during inode creation errors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53732/"}
