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-2023-53833 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-2023-53833/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53833/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53833","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53833/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53833","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53833","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53833","GHSA-x2p5-wm9v-xvm5","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53833"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's i915 driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\ndrm/i915: Fix NULL ptr deref by checking new_crtc_state\n\nintel_atomic_get_new_crtc_state can return NULL, unless crtc state wasn't\nobtained previously with intel_atomic_get_crtc_state, so we must check it\nfor NULLness here, just as in many other places, where we can't guarantee\nthat intel_atomic_get_crtc_state was called.\nWe are currently getting NULL ptr deref because of that, so this fix was\nconfirmed to help.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 1d5b09f8daf859247a1ea65b0d732a24d88980d8)","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":"drm/i915: Fix NULL ptr deref by checking new_crtc_state","id":"CVE-2023-53833","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"iio: adc: ina2xx: avoid NULL pointer dereference on OF device match","id":"CVE-2023-53834"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"md/raid10: fix null-ptr-deref in raid10_sync_request","id":"CVE-2023-53832"},"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 NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's i915 driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53833/"}
