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-2023-53783 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-2023-53783/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53783/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53783","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53783/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53783","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53783","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53783","GHSA-6wcv-9326-m4qg","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53783"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with high privileges can cause a kernel crash by writing specific values to the cgroup io.cost.model file, resulting in a denial of service.","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\nblk-iocost: fix divide by 0 error in calc_lcoefs()\n\necho max of u64 to cost.model can cause divide by 0 error.\n\n  # echo 8:0 rbps=18446744073709551615 \u003e /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.model\n\n  divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n  RIP: 0010:calc_lcoefs+0x4c/0xc0\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   ioc_refresh_params+0x2b3/0x4f0\n   ioc_cost_model_write+0x3cb/0x4c0\n   ? _copy_from_iter+0x6d/0x6c0\n   ? kernfs_fop_write_iter+0xfc/0x270\n   cgroup_file_write+0xa0/0x200\n   kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x17d/0x270\n   vfs_write+0x414/0x620\n   ksys_write+0x73/0x160\n   __x64_sys_write+0x1e/0x30\n   do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n\ncalc_lcoefs() uses the input value of cost.model in DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL,\noverflow would happen if bps plus IOC_PAGE_SIZE is greater than\nULLONG_MAX, it can cause divide by 0 error.\n\nFix the problem by setting basecost","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":"blk-iocost: fix divide by 0 error in calc_lcoefs()","id":"CVE-2023-53783","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"drm: bridge: dw_hdmi: fix connector access for scdc","id":"CVE-2023-53784"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dccp: Fix out of bounds access in DCCP error handler","id":"CVE-2023-53782"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-09","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 with high privileges can cause a kernel crash by writing specific values to the cgroup io.cost.model file, resulting in a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53783/"}
