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-2023-53993 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-2023-53993/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53993/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53993","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53993/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53993","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-53993","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53993","GHSA-4vfj-wgm2-99m2","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53993"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel PCI DOE subsystem can cause denial of service when debug objects are enabled.","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\nPCI/DOE: Fix memory leak with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y\n\nAfter a pci_doe_task completes, its work_struct needs to be destroyed\nto avoid a memory leak with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y.","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":"PCI/DOE: Fix memory leak with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y","id":"CVE-2023-53993","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"ionic: remove WARN_ON to prevent panic_on_warn","id":"CVE-2023-53994"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: cfg80211: ocb: don't leave if not joined","id":"CVE-2023-53992"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-24","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 Linux kernel PCI DOE subsystem can cause denial of service when debug objects are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53993/"}
