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-2023-54015 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-2023-54015/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54015/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54015","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54015/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54015","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54015","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54015","GHSA-mx7v-5j4q-68wr","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54015"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel mlx5 driver allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\nnet/mlx5: Devcom, fix error flow in mlx5_devcom_register_device\n\nIn case devcom allocation is failed, mlx5 is always freeing the priv.\nHowever, this priv might have been allocated by a different thread,\nand freeing it might lead to use-after-free bugs.\nFix it by freeing the priv only in case it was allocated by the\nrunning thread.","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":"net/mlx5: Devcom, fix error flow in mlx5_devcom_register_device","id":"CVE-2023-54015","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"wifi: ath12k: Fix memory leak in rx_desc and tx_desc","id":"CVE-2023-54016"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"scsi: qla2xxx: Check valid rport returned by fc_bsg_to_rport()","id":"CVE-2023-54014"},"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 use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel mlx5 driver allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54015/"}
