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-2023-53808 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-2023-53808/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53808/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53808","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53808/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53808","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53808","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53808","GHSA-v6fm-8984-7m43","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53808"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the mwifiex Wi-Fi driver allows local attackers to cause a denial of service by exhausting kernel memory.","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: mwifiex: fix memory leak in mwifiex_histogram_read()\n\nAlways free the zeroed page on return from 'mwifiex_histogram_read()'.","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: mwifiex: fix memory leak in mwifiex_histogram_read()","id":"CVE-2023-53808","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"l2tp: Avoid possible recursive deadlock in l2tp_tunnel_register()","id":"CVE-2023-53809"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"clk: clocking-wizard: Fix Oops in clk_wzrd_register_divider()","id":"CVE-2023-53807"},"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 memory leak in the mwifiex Wi-Fi driver allows local attackers to cause a denial of service by exhausting kernel memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53808/"}
