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-2023-54053 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-2023-54053/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54053/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54053","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54053/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54053","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54053","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54053","GHSA-fp97-j955-wgw4","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54053"],"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash in the iwlwifi driver by triggering a NULL pointer dereference during device removal after a failed probe.","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\nwifi: iwlwifi: pcie: fix possible NULL pointer dereference\n\nIt is possible that iwl_pci_probe() will fail and free the trans,\nthen afterwards iwl_pci_remove() will be called and crash by trying\nto access trans which is already freed, fix it.\n\niwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Detected crf-id 0xa5a5a5a2, cnv-id 0xa5a5a5a2\n\t\t      wfpm id 0xa5a5a5a2\niwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Can't find a correct rfid for crf id 0x5a2\n...\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028\n...\nRIP: 0010:iwl_pci_remove+0x12/0x30 [iwlwifi]\npci_device_remove+0x3e/0xb0\ndevice_release_driver_internal+0x103/0x1f0\ndriver_detach+0x4c/0x90\nbus_remove_driver+0x5c/0xd0\ndriver_unregister+0x31/0x50\npci_unregister_driver+0x40/0x90\niwl_pci_unregister_driver+0x15/0x20 [iwlwifi]\n__exit_compat+0x9/0x98 [iwlwifi]\n__x64_sys_delete_module+0x147/0x260","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: iwlwifi: pcie: fix possible NULL pointer dereference","id":"CVE-2023-54053","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2023-54054"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix skb leak by txs missing in AMSDU","id":"CVE-2023-54052"},"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash in the iwlwifi driver by triggering a NULL pointer dereference during device removal after a failed probe.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54053/"}
