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-2023-53767 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-2023-53767/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53767/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53767","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53767/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53767","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53767","GHSA-rw7c-q4g4-f6m7","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2023-53767","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53767"],"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":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the ath12k Wi-Fi driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service, requiring kernel patches.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\nwifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work()\n\nCurrently the buffer pointed by event is not freed in case\nATH12K_FLAG_UNREGISTERING bit is set, this causes memory leak.\n\nAdd a goto skip instead of return, to ensure event and all the\nlist entries are freed properly.\n\nTested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1","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":"wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work()","id":"CVE-2023-53767","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"regmap-irq: Fix out-of-bounds access when allocating config buffers","id":"CVE-2023-53768"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"FS: JFS: Check for read-only mounted filesystem in txBegin","id":"CVE-2023-53766"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-08","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 memory leak in the ath12k Wi-Fi driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service, requiring kernel patches.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53767/"}
