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-2023-53763 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-2023-53763/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53763/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53763","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53763/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53763","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53763","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53763","GHSA-5fw5-8689-q6mq","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53763"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel f2fs","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in the f2fs filesystem's extent cache handling causes an out-of-bounds array index, leading to a kernel crash during mount.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRevert \"f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly\"\n\nsyzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:\n\nUBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:3275:19\nindex 1409 is out of range for type '__le32[923]' (aka 'unsigned int[923]')\nCall Trace:\n __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline]\n dump_stack_lvl+0x1e7/0x2d0 lib/dump_stack.c:106\n ubsan_epilogue lib/ubsan.c:217 [inline]\n __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0x11c/0x150 lib/ubsan.c:348\n inline_data_addr fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:3275 [inline]\n __recover_inline_status fs/f2fs/inode.c:113 [inline]\n do_read_inode fs/f2fs/inode.c:480 [inline]\n f2fs_iget+0x4730/0x48b0 fs/f2fs/inode.c:604\n f2fs_fill_super+0x640e/0x80c0 fs/f2fs/super.c:4601\n mount_bdev+0x276/0x3b0 fs/super.c:1391\n legacy_get_tree+0xef/0x190 fs/fs_context.c:611\n vfs_get_tree+0x8c/0x270 fs/super.c:1519\n do_new_mount+0x28f/0xae0 fs/namespace.c:3335\n do_mount fs/namespace.c:3675 [inline]\n __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3884 [inline]\n __se_sys_mount+0x2d9/0x3c0 fs/namespace.c:3861\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n\nThe issue was bisected to:\n\ncommit d48a7b3a72f121655d95b5157c32c7d555e44c05\nAuthor: Chao Yu \u003cchao@kernel.org\u003e\nDate:   Mon Jan 9 03:49:20 2023 +0000\n\n    f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly\n\nThe root cause is we applied both v1 and v2 of the patch, v2 is the right\nfix, so it needs to revert v1 in order to fix reported issue.\n\nv1:\ncommit d48a7b3a72f1 (\"f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly\")\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230109034920.492914-1-chao@kernel.org/\n\nv2:\ncommit 269d11948100 (\"f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly\")\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230207134808.1827869-1-chao@kernel.org/","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":"Revert \"f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly\"","id":"CVE-2023-53763","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"wifi: ath12k: Handle lock during peer_id find","id":"CVE-2023-53764"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF in hci_disconnect_all_sync","id":"CVE-2023-53762"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A logic error in the f2fs filesystem's extent cache handling causes an out-of-bounds array index, leading to a kernel crash during mount.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53763/"}
