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-2023-53811 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-2023-53811/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53811/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53811","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53811/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53811","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53811","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53811","GHSA-4q86-c76w-9mx5","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53811"],"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 flaw in the Linux kernel irdma driver allows a local attacker to trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service by exceeding MSIX vector limits.","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\nRDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1\n\nThe irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors equal\nto num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown\nif that number is exceeded.\n\nThe kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity\nhint with a CPU mask greater than the max CPU IDs.
